Vox Pop: Converting clutter from trash to treasure

Quick way to dispose of lots of stuff? | Ask MetaFilter

Wow, talk about good timing.

I¡¯ve noticed in comments on this week¡¯s clutter posts that there¡¯s a lot of interest from you all in the away part of ¡°throw away¡± ¨C people seem to have a lot of ideas on the most interesting, charitable, creative, and environmentally-responsible routes for converting your own trash into someone else¡¯s treasure.

So far we (and that AskMe thread) have covered:

¡öRecycling
¡öGoodwill (and similar charities)
¡ö1-800-GOT-JUNK (and similar services)
¡öCraigslist (and other classified avenues)
¡öeBay (and other online sales ideas)
¡öFreecycle
¡öPutting it on the street with a ¡°Free¡± sign
What¡¯s your creative solution? Let¡¯s try to avoid names of specific businesses and charities except inasmuch as they offer a truly creative and non-obvious solution to reuse or recycling. What¡¯s the most interesting way you¡¯ve cleared your crap while doing some good? Have you got any suggestions that are clever and convenient?
