freecycle sounded like a good plan. I tried 3 times to jump though all

the
hoops to join freeycle but still have not succeed. Need a yahoo address,

I
already have 3 addresses don't need another. Craigslist is much simpler

to
use. Giving away stuff shouldn't need so much security attached to it.


You would not want to use freecycle on an address you use for other

things.
If you are gone for 3 days, you come back to hundreds of emails sometimes.

See if local Habitat for Humanity has a ReStore anywhere nearby. If the
mirrors are in decent shape, they'll take them. (IOW, the silvering isn't
shot, and you didn't take any half-moons out of the edges getting them
down.)

Failing that, some Goodwills, Salvation Army stores, etc, take limited
building repair items- but for a mirror, they would probably want it wrapped
in cardboard.

If you don't wanna haul, and live in a kid/gang free neighborhood, just put
on the curb with a 'free' sign, or add to a neighbors garage sale. If they
can keep the money, most people don't mind such donations.
