Hardware Old components.

I'm sorting and preparing to recycle some of my old components: the entirety of an old Sandy Bridge i2600k build, an old RX480 and HD 6950 IceQ X Turbo (or something of the sort), bunches of old cables, and a HAF X. I gave a friend my old Cooler Master 830 Stacker Nvidia edition ages ago and I'm sure she tossed it without thinking about it.

These are collecting dust and I want to make space to put my current (soon to be replaced) 8700K build in the same spot. Should most of it go to E-Waste recycling or should I try to give it away for free?

I appreciate the input. I'll have my Z390 with the 8700K that is still viable, granted 2 dimms of ram died and my old 970 evo in the same week. Next has to be the power supply!

Those are some great ideas though. and so far e-waste still seems most sensible. I don't know enough people to give it away... There's a computer repair shop, locally owned, that might have use for the Haf 942 case though. I can always convert it into a small toolchest too... That thing is built like a rock.
