Giving something away to someone who can use it, is much more responsible than throwing it away. If you don't live near one of those refugee centres, join a Freecycle group. I live in rural Southland, and even here,10 km. west of Tuatapere, there's a Freecycle group we can use, based in Invercargill.

Freecycle.co.nz allows groups to register as charities and then people can list items that are allowed to go to members who are registered as charities.
