Do you know of any organizations which accept used breast pumps? For reuse either here or abroad?

Seems a shame to throw it out.

Thanks
F. B.

What can I do next?

I agree that Freecycle is one choice.

We also have a Latino social service agency for new immigrants/Americans. They have the standard food pantry but also a clothing/household item "pantry" including baby gear, games, toys and so on. We also have an Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) that provides emergency transitional housing for homeless families who have so little. There are also programs for abused women - your donation might be a lifesaver there too. Look into that route. You could really make a difference in someone's life!

I wouldn't think of throwing it out. Even if you don't find and organization you could offer it on freecycle if you don't know any expecting moms who could use one.

If it is a Medela electric pump, they have a recycling program. They take the old pump and then donate a new one through the Ronald McDonald House charities. http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/medela-recycles

Pumps are classified as medical devices and generally won't be accepted by organizations, but you're free to give it away to an individual on your own. Freecycle, local FB group, etc.
