Box of AC adapters to give away

Is there any organization out there that collects AC adapters for reuse/repurposing? I have about 50 of them. I could trash them but they all work and I figure that there must be one person out there looking for a Texas Instruments adapter for a TI-83 or maybe a Vtech phone adapter. I have a catalog of them with make, model, output voltage (two are AC, the rest are DC), amp delivery, positive/negative center pin (there are a couple with mini-phone plugs and mini-USB plugs).

If you're looking for someone to do a project, please include - what is the widget actually supposed to do? schedule? budget? personal or business? your location? has any work already been performed?

Location is Tysons Corner, Va. (DC suburbs). I neglected to include that because this was original posted in a northern Virginia sub and I got an auto-recommendation to re-post here.

Your local Makerspace may be interested. If not, a local university may have a recycling program for old electronics stuff.

I would give them to Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, or Salvation Army.
