We made weekly trips to Goodwill as we opened gifts and replaced things. Someone will find a use for your things! (and you can get a receipt, for tax purposes, if that's important to you!)
Goodwill for us for anything that we won't keep as back-up or spare room/basement furniture etc.
My sister (who is also my MOH) and brother in law are in the midst of having their vacation home built in Eastern WA...We'll give them our old as we receive our new 
Goodwill! Everyone else we know is already married, older, or has better stuff. Goodwill will throw it out if it's not good enough to sell or find another place to donate for you.
if you know any collegians you can ask them if they need anything? family members gave me a lot of used equipment when i moved out of the dorms..
I'm with sewing - we're "donating" them to FSIL's house since she's still in college & they're in need of some decent kitchenware.
A lot of the other stuff with go to Salvation Army or a local store that benefits an animal shelter.
Things like our crappy toaster oven which barely works, I'll be tossing. I wouldn't feel right & don't think it's safe to donate.
Our "tupperware" aka plastic things our chinese food comes in that we keep -- will be recycled.
Ours will either go to my FI's sistr who is hoping to move out soon or to Goodwill. We already have duplicates of everything since we both currently live on our own so our registry is mostly for the odds and ends neither of us have.
A lot of our stuff came from Goodwill, and that's where it's headed back to!
Little brothers and sister will be the lucky winners of several 30 year old sets of pots, pans and dishes. Damn, that stoneware lasts forever!
My youngest sister just moved out of the house last year. She is in the dorms now but by September she will need a bunch of kitchen stuff, which I will be happy to give her.
a friend who recently broke up with her bf and moved out of her house went through all of our old stuff and took what she needed, the rest went to goodwill.
We're planning on a yard sale, and then the rest goes to the goodwill.
My brother (just out of college) was getting his first apartment, so we gave it all to him!
Goodwill! And we have a bachelor friend that has zero kitchen stuff, so we are giving him first dibs on everything.
Goodwill. A church garage sale is where I bought most of my current housewares, so I figure I am just paying it forward :)
Ahhh, the circle of life that is Goodwill! That is what I was thinking most people were planning on doing, but I was just curious if anyone had any grand master plans or interesting suggestions. I didn't even think of a women's shelter! Great idea!
I also like what others have said about sharing the wealth for a soon to be college kid. I was thinking maybe I could group all of the stuff together and put it up on Craigslist "for free" as a college kid housewares starter kit with pots and pans, old knives, plates, small vacuums, etc. all together.
FREECYCLE! I <3 freecycle. We've started clearing out FI's stuff and people will come pick up the odds and ends as I clear them out. It's been great. Sure beats the dump.
If we have enough, we'll do a yard sale. If not, freecycling, goodwill and the trash will take care of the rest.
Yard Sale!
I'm also seeing if my sister wants any of it - she's going to be moving into her first apartment, and I'm sure she'll appreciate some hand-me-downs =)
We will offer our old stuff to any of our friends who are just starting out. Anything left over.. Garage Sale!
We've been slowly going through our kitchen cabinets to clear out space and a lot of it has been going to a coworker of FI's. He and his GF recently moved in together so they don't have a lot of stuff. I'd imagine with the small appliances if he doesn't want it we will just donate to Goodwill.

So a lot of the things we are registering for are replacements for crappy housewares that we have now. Some we bought for cheap and other were inherited third or fourth hand, but most are still in pretty good shape because we have tried to take really good care of these things to make them last. I am just now thinking about what we will do when we replace these items with new items we receive as gifts. Have you bees given any thoughts to this? I would like to give the items that are in good shape away, but I am worried they will be seen as "too used."
