Need to find new home for miscellaneous photo stuff

Perhaps I'm the only one who finds himself in this situation, but I have an assortment of photo "stuff", adapters, filters, hoods, straps, etc., that I need to move on to someplace else. After a number of years enjoying my photography, I have accumulated way too much small stuff. Many items don't have enough individual value to try to sell. I have checked with local schools, but most don't want to mess with odds and ends. Any suggestions for a place to donate items such as these?

Habitat for Humanity reStore. I've donated cameras, lenses, even darkroom equipment.

I do have darkroom equipment also. I hadn't considered Habitat for Humanity reStore. There is one here and I would be happy to give something to help them out. I helped with building a Habitat house a few years back, but hadn't thought about the reStore. Thanks for the suggestion.

Camera clubs like that stuff. At least you are passing the gear on to others with hopefully the knowledge of what it is and how they might use it.

You will find folks willing to take them off of your hands and they'll pay shipping too.

it's a good cause, and donating things they can sell will be helping them. [You can also deduct for a charitable donation on your tax return.]
