I think a lot of us are in the same boat; we don’t need it, don’t care about the money, would love to just toss it, but we know someone else could use it, so we end up spending more time than what something is worth to try and get it into that person’s hands.
I have an RC helicopter that due to my lack of skill tested how gravity worked, it is too busted to be feasible to fix, but a lot of the parts are good. I think I will offer it at $25 on Craigslist. Maybe do the “I’ll leave it and an envelope on the porch; if you want it, take it and leave the cash in the envelope” then I don’t have to deal with somebody.

People throw away perfectly good stuff every day. I know because i pick their garbage
If its worthless but still good just make a pile in a corner somewhere. When the pile is big enough put it to the curb and a free ad on marketplace itll be gone in an hour.

I'm cleaning out the house of all the stuff. My sister was a hoarder and mom was a packrat that grew up in the Depression era. Usable stuff goes to Goodwill, Books to Goodwill or Friends of the Library, more expensive stuff I give to one of my friends and she distributes to her friends. My sister was like a little kid and collected anything and everything. Tons of Beanie babies and stuffed toys go to my friend and she gives them to the kids at church.
The crap and rubbish go to the dump. I load up my X3 and off I go! Well, I chopped up a heavy duty 6 ft shelf with my sawzall and put it into my rubbish can. Didn't feel like carrying that heavy metal. lol

For bike stuff, find a bicycle co-op and donate it. Shimano 105 is perfectly functional and someone will use it.

I generally, much to my wifes chagrin, keep them just for the occasional satisfaction of finding a repurposed use and being able to gloat about it.
Kind of like this bin of used P Car transmission parts I have that I don't even know why I have because they fit neither of my cars. I like having them around because it provides the opportunity for snarky commentary when the door opens.
