Where do the calculators go?

lederhosenRey and I are gradually working through our moving boxes, unpacking stuff to keep and picking as much as we can for garage sales/rubbish, because we have Way Too Much Stuff.
Today, my old programmable calculator (HP 20S). I didn't use it for academic work much because they didn't allow programmables*, but I'm fond of it. I won it in a maths competition, and I used its 100-line memory to create a dice roller for D&D.
Now of course it's hopelessly obsolete, but I still feel bad about just tossing it in the bin. Does anybody run a Home For Old Calculators or something?
*Except for the maths department at ANU, who had a fairly liberal open-book policy.
