I don't know if you you guys in America do, too? But it's free to take your stuff. You must sort it into categories. They take almost EVERYTHING!! And then they sell the stuff to companies who need the plastic/ metal/ compost/ glass etc etc etc. That's how they make their money.

I love Freecycle! And if I don't want to wait for someone to pick something up, I'll take it to Goodwill or another thrift store. I hate to see usable items go into landfills. I third that!

You'd be surprised what people will want for free. Even broken stuff1 A lot of artists and handy-inventor types look for cheap supplies that way. Someone came by to pick up two broken wall clocks from us! I recently saw an installation involving old suitcases and plastic flowers. Just something to consider for next time.
