[sudoroom] Electronic Donations @ Sudo Room

[Matthew Senate]

I'm very interested in being intelligent about re-use and recycling. On the
other hand, for things like fixable/working computers, tools of any sort,
and objects/materials of a reasonable volume--I think we could manage ways
to send off or re-use these things very quickly. Also, for things we'd
rather not get rid of, I can stick it in my basement.
