Recycling. I have a garage full of infant toys, baby carriers, strollers but should i toss em or recycle?

Recycling. I have a garage full of infant toys, baby carriers, strollers, etc but should i toss em or recycle? they are DUSTY and im not sure id like to attempt cleaning them if i cant do it well enough. Im just afraid it will end up with a child in it and not fully clean. i dont have much time to do it properly. Should i toss it out or give it away as is (with minimal cleaning)???

Update:

Im Inspired. Its gonna be a weekend of cleaning then its all free. Thank you for the awesome advice !

    If you have alot of stuff especially you could look up a charity that will come and pick it for you. That would save you the hassle of even bringing to Salvation Army or similar.

    Please donate, it is wasteful to throw away and there are many people that could really use it. Also, ask for a receipt and the bonus is - the value of the items you donate are tax deductible.

    Donate to value village or like others said, put them at the curb with a free sign. Expecting moms will (hopefully) clean the crap out of the stuff before putting their baby in it

    Donate them to a thrift store or at the very least, put them out on your curb with a big FREE sign. Someone will come by within a few hours and take it all away.

    Put up an ad on Craigslist that says CURB ALERT and post what will be there, leave them all at your curb and I guarantee you they'll all be gone.

    Please don't throw the things away, there are plenty of people in need of baby things, they would really appreciate it and wouldn't even mind cleaning it. someone could really benefit from this.
