I don't know about picking them up, but I'd contact your local library. If they can't use them, they may have a "Friends of the Library" organization that would like to use them. The library in the last town that I lived in collected all that stuff, costume jewelry & more and then the Friends sold it at the library's annual "garage sale" and the town's annual fair to help raise money for the library. They donate computers, furniture, etc...hth!

I would try a pediatric Dr's office, local public school, or the library. I'm sure any of them would appreciate your generosity............

You can also try calling a pediatric wing of a hospital. They always need toys.

The Vietnam Veterans. You can call them and schedule a pick up. I also donate a lot of my daughter's toys to various schools for children with special needs. Variety Children's Learning Center and ACDS - School for Down Syndrome come to mind in the Syooset/Plainview area
