What to do with old Apple products?

My wife and I are moving and have a lot of "retired" Apple products and we are looking for the best way to get rid of them. We have a dozen or more iPhones, a few iPods, laptops and desk tops. To the best of my knowledge the all of the phones have been wiped clean. I'm not sure about the computers and some are not working properly if at all. For example an old iMac desktop plays a tone and is inoperable. Any suggestions are helpful. I'm in the suburbs of the Dallas/Ft Worth area.

Apple will wipe them for sure.

You can also run a strong magnet over your hard disk if you want.

Note: If you can't access them then unless you really have very valuable info on your computer, I don't think anyone will waste time with expensive hardware to access it.
