Common E-Waste that can be repurposed? (slrpnk.net)

I'm in the process of setting up an e-waste bin in my community, but it is separate from the general e-trash bin. I want the sign on it to request specific things that can be useful and repurposed without an insane amount of effort.

I'm looking for additional ideas to put on the list. Here's what I have so far:

-SSDs and HDDs both internal and external

-Laptops, phones, computers

-WIFI cards

-RAM sticks

-Chargers that are still working

Disposable vape pen batteries. They can be wired up to make battery banks. There’s tons of videos online explaining the process. Just please don’t try if you don’t know your way around electronics.
