iPhone 4, Chinese no name brand tablet, 2009 MacBook.
All in fair to bad condition.
Bonus points if you can find somewhere that will give any money for them. Not completely necessary though.

Do you live somewhere that holds electronic recycling events? I live in DFW and pretty much every city in the metroplex has an event like this, usually monthly.

Best Buy has taken old printers, DirecTv boxes, etc. from me, but they (according to the counter employee) charge a fee for monitors, TVs, or anything with a big screen. Those go in an apartment dumpster.

Staples will take them and I think give you store credits.

In Austin, we have a recycling facility where I take used batteries too after I collected a bunch. There may be something similar near you.
