I sold some items on Craig's List - including all of the doors, a ceiling fan, bathroom vanity, etc. Folks were asked to bring their tools, and removed and hauled away what they wished to purchase.
The rest - I donated to the Rebuilding Exchange in Chicago.
"The Rebuilding Exchange is a local non-profit retail warehouse which accepts donations of usable building materials and makes them available at affordable prices to renovators, diyers, homeowners, artists etc. Our mission is to create a market for reclaimed building materials. We do this by diverting materials from landfills and making them accessible for reuse through our retail warehouse, by promoting sustainable deconstruction practices, by providing education and job training programs, and by creating innovative models for sustainable reuse." - Alex @ RE

Here's a link to their donation page, http://rebuildingexchange.org/donate.
It was very convenient and professionally operated. I called, emailed an outline of what was available with pictures, and they picked it all up. I get a tax write off for the donated items, saved a bit on demo, and everything goes to a good new home.
