I know of some towns in my state that have a building at their landfill or transfer station where people can put "stuff" that still works, and these buildings are open to everyone -- not just residents of the town. And the stuff is free -- if you find something you need, take it -- it's yours.
It's a really great idea. I'm more prone these days to chuck stuff vs going to Goodwill or SA. Every time I show up at those places, or the truck comes out, they refuse all kinds of perfectly good stuff. Especially electronics. I couldn't donate my 50" Samsung to them (worked perfectly). Same with a 20" computer monitor.
When I was trying to donate furniture after my mom passed and my dad wanted stuff cleared out, they refused a $3000 oak dining set (again, like new).
I ended up talking to a couple of neighbors who happily took much of the stuff, but other stuff went into the trash can or the city ewaste site.
I'm trying to find a good local donation site to use here in ID, but that's proving difficult. I've found a coupe near me, but they promote themselves as drug/alcohol abuse places. Color me mean, but I have a strong personal philosophical problem to donating to places for people made who made bad personal choices, when there are so many that need help because of things out of their control.
I'd much prefer to give stuff to a "re-use" site, where it's up for grabs from anybody.
