Some swaps have a policy where they won’t accept damaged skis, and a dumpster out back where they will offer to take said skis off your hands (often to be turned into ski chairs)

if you can find said dumpster, free skis and bindings. Pulled a pair of line skogens, k2 sights with fks, and og k2 winter heats out of one at the wachusett swap over a few seasons.

Be respectful, ask questions about the gear, show up before open (slightly), prioritize looking for what you really need first so you don't miss out on it, etc.
