Former Employer Has Ignored My Requests To Let Me Return Their Equipment, Am I Responsible For Having To Hold Onto It?

I was unexpectedly let go from my job. I was working hybrid so my former employer has all the stuff I was using while on site, but there’s company property still at my house (computer monitors, keyboard, ect). I was told by the HR person that I would get a shipping label sent to me to return everything to them but I never got anything. I also asked for an inventory list so I didnt miss anything or accidentally send them something of mine. I worked in a very high security site so I can’t just go there randomly to drop stuff off I won’t even be let in the building.

I called HR to ask what to do about getting my stuff back to them, who transferred me to IT, who transferred me to security, who transferred me back to HR, who said they would call me back but never did. I tried emailing the general customer service email for the company but never got a response and called HR another couple times with no luck. One of them suggested contacting my former manager, but I don’t know her contact info because that was all on my work laptop that they kept, and when I asked HR for her number or email they said they couldn’t release that information. This is a large Fortune 500 company so I don’t know why they don’t have a process for this!

Anyway it’s been 5 months and I’m moving and all this computer crap is still at my house and I don’t know what to do with it. I’m afraid to throw it away and I don’t want to keep carrying it around, and also I don’t see how it’s MY responsibility to chase THEM.

I want to toss it but I don’t want to get in trouble later. What should I do?

Located MN USA.
