My library has a bin for used eyeglasses.

Magazines can be left at your doctor's office (they won't care or notice) or traded at Half-Price Books. Computers can be recycled various places, big retailers do it now, local communities sometimes gather them up, and my Goodwill stores recycle anything electronic.

I've started saving my magazines until school is out. My daughter is always having to make collages that show certain shapes or angles, or maybe fat-free foods. I'm not talking kindergarten here. High school honors courses. So teachers could probably use the magazines, too.

I run a school library, so I accept all old magazines (except porn). They all go in a big green box by the door, where people can pick out anything they want and take it with them, and every one teacher takes a bunch every semester for collage projects.
