Similarly, in the UK, we have what are disparagingly referred to as "Charity Shops" - ("Kringloopwinkels" sounds much better ! ), where often charities are given the remains of a lease when shops shut down, and then sell donated items on the High Street - some of the more 'switched on' charities cream off the best items and sell them on ebay for more, why not ?
Often collectors for these charities leave labelled plastic sacks on the doorstep, which we (hopefully) fill, and they are collected a few days later. Sadly, scammers have latched onto the idea, and they then sell for their own profit...
We also have email based recycling, the one in this area is 'waste not want not', seems to work quite well. I've bought a few musical bits from charity shops, never seen any brass/wind instruments though.
Back on thread, I have more saxes than necks...
