The items they take as donations are very limited. Clothes, shoes, stationary, bags. Electronics are out - they didn't want a basically brand new deluxe keyboard, a drink heater, and even an automatic robot vacuum; both the drink heater and vacuum in new condition and with French plugs. They didn't want the books I had in English but there was a book exchange wall on the way out that had books in Chinese so I dropped them off there. I'm not certain where people drop off their like new one gently used electronics items for donation here. I hope they don't just throw them away. I'll have to keep looking. read more
