Your points are all well taken, but instead of throwing the stuff in
the weekly garbage, offer it up on your local list on Freecycle.org,
and you'd be amazed at who'll take the stuff and make good use of it,
warming the cockles of your heart and keeping crap out of the
landfill. I'm a hard-core Freecycler now (I've freecycled sand and
camping fuel!).


Freecycle is very useful. Note that some groups exist off the
Freecycle.org network, i.e. where I live the group left Freecycle.org
but continues on.

I wonder how much of the stuff that is Freecycled out, ends up on
Craigslist.org.
