Default Trash or Treasure ?

Around here, there are some other options - for "junk" -
before it adds to the landfill :
: thrift stores : Habitat For Humanity Re-Store : online
classifieds "Free Stuff" or similar on FaceBook

prefer to see something like that old chair go to someone who wants to
spruce it up - if not actually a treasure -
then maybe a funky piece for the cottage ..
I've seen people leave stuff by the road for Free and someone usually
stops ..

Heartily second the ReStore option! Others include groups such as the
Gleaners: http://www.novgleaners.org/furniture-aid and FreeCycle: https://
www.freecycle.org/# which has the advantage that the rercipient comes and
picks up the "treasure" you give away.

Cheers,
