? what to do with old fans & heaters ?

See this message from a Randolph Place NW resident:

Fix-It? Give Away? I must have half a dozen electric fans and space heaters that have died in the last couple years. I hate to think of them just filling a landfill when maybe only a little something is wrong, but I really don`t need them either.

Does anyone know of a charity that might take them and presumably fix them and use them itself or sell them? I think Goodwill and Salvation Army only take working items, but I could be wrong. Or is there a fix-it-type person/handyman in the neighborhood who might take them to ``play`` with?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
