Old toys

I've been dutifully doing my part in the minor repairs and renovations around the house this past few weeks (is painting the walls a woman's job or a man's job? I really don't know — not that I could get out of it anyway). Lots of cleaning and getting rid of old stuff too.

Thanks to the on-going aging of our children we are left with a lot of toys (at least three black bags full) that are now redundant as the youngest has outgrown them. None of these toys is brand new, but all are in working order. If I thought there was a charity that would take them, I'd clean them up. Failing that, can toys be recycled or should I just throw them away? If they can be recycled, where do I need to go with them? {Within reasonable range of south Dublin, of course.}
