Is there any webpage (or some kind of app or service) I could sign up
to, stating which old HW I possess and would donate, should any such
good cause need it ?
I have a few bits.

In days gone past I used to accept ancient things to keep them going,
rather than scrap them, and at the moment we're resurrecting some
ancient non-computer equipment. At times I'd considered passing on
things I don't need through ebay, and the like, but worked out that
much of the time you won't be providing much needed bits to someone
desperate for them, you're providing cheap materials to sharks who'll
just try to sell them at obscene prices. Often breaking up working, or
workable, units into bits for maximum profit.
