You could re-donate them, but I've heard DI spends significant money on
disposal costs.
In the past several years they've gone back and forth on their return
policy. The last time I needed a floppy drive they were accepting
returns and giving you your cash back. They may not be doing that
anymore.
And they wouldn't have to throw so much stuff away if they'd just keep
all the parts of each donation in one place. You can buy a pan there
but you have to go to another isle for the lid... if you're lucky.
And have I ever found anything electronic that had it's power supply
with it?
I actually tape all pertinent cables and power supplies to anything I
donate. Sometimes I'll even go find the latest drivers and tape a
disk to the device as well, or some notes about how to get it working.
Not that these things help a whole lot: I've seen them rip off the
taped-on power supply and throw it in a different box (only saw that
once).
They don't take loose PCI cards anymore do they?
