What does everyone do with their old electronics?

I've been accumulating old electronics for about a decade now and I really need to safely dispose of them at this point. I know some cities have drop off spots for recycling, but the one near me charges a fee and appears to cater to business clients. Obviously I'm against tossing them in the bin. It's small things, like an old iPod touch, Bluetooth speaker etc. What do you all do with your old Ewaste?

Edit: Whew. I'm tired after a long day of...you guessed it...work. Great suggestions in this thread. Thanks y'all!

I have a bunch of old microwaves so sometimes I but batteries and other stuff and see what happens. If it's a full pc, I save it until I need to relieve some stress and beat it to pieces with a shovel in my shop. After that I sometimes light it on fire. Whatever floats your boat!

Not admitting to nothing, but the scene in Office Space where they beat a printer to death; well, a 2x4 in '98 works just like a bat.
