I have an old MacBook and a Chinese brand tablet that I no longer need. Where in the Baton Rouge or surrounding areas can I donate them and no my information will not be stolen off of them?

You can't be sure unless you do it yourself.

For the MacBook, remove the hard drive, drill holes in it, then crush it. Alternatively, you can use a drive wipe program and hope it works.

For the Chinese tablet, I'm sorry but your information is already compromised.

I have old old Apple phones - 4s and 5s that we let the young kids play on. But now they are are older and have their own phones.

What does everyone do with these devices and say old Apple iPods (which I have a number of). Is there any place that accepts this crap for the parts?

Try Capital Area Corporate Recycling LINK. They recycle the hardware, not sure about data security.
