I just returned home from hauling most of my clothing to the local Goodwill. On a related note, I look forward to seeing more people wearing startup/conference t-shirts around NYC, since they comprised the lion's share of my wardrobe...

I've been researching these services for the past few weeks since I've committed myself to liquidating most of my belongings (I live in a small apartment with no closets -- thanks New York! -- and was inspired by this blog post: http://www.raptitude.com/2011/01/i-dont-want-stuff-any-more-...), and would prefer to see them in the hands of friends and those in need rather than a landfill.

Does anyone have recommendations for where/how to donate more valuable items? For example, I want to donate an expensive drone I never use, but would prefer to see it go to a classroom/after-school program. Thinking I'll search DonorsChoose.org and offer things to teachers, but is there another service?
