In my daily attempts to de clutter I have come accross my old iPod and a charging port .
Both of which I hardly used
Should I just bin them Or is there some tech charity that could used them for whatever ?

You could flog it…musicmagpie for example, get some money for it and donate to a charity, all very easy to do. Some supermarkets will also allow you to drop off instead of posting
I am always iffy about getting rid of old tech,there are some people out there who can get into them and retrieve personnel info.
I break mine up with a hammer.
I came across my old IPod when having a rummage around, a 80GB one. The battery won’t hold a charge and needs replacing, which means I can’t really use it.
I have found a company which will not only replace batteries, but will fit a high capacity one, remove and replace the hard drive with an SSD one and upgrade the size up to 1TB and it’s possible to fit a bluetooth board inside it.
These days, I have my phone with all my tunes on it and a USB stick for my car, which makes it a little redundant. But I have sometimes wondered if it’s worth getting it refurbished, if for old times sake.

Have you got another use for it? Perhaps you could use it for one of your hobbies
I’ve taken everything of mine except the Kindle app
And I use it for storing recipes I take a screen shot if a recipe is online, or a photo if it’s in a magazine
And instead of buying real cookery books, I buy the Kindle version
It’s a very old IPad but it works fine for that
Perhaps if you refurbished yours you could dedicate to one of your hobbies?
It’s not an iPad it’s a iPod .
On the odd occasion we have port, mine is always decanted earlier and served in cut glass when it’s time to ‘pass the port’ 
I am sure the Sally Army would be glad of them for their shop sales
