D.Q.
You can post it on freecycle. This is a yahoo group. You sign up fot eh one in your neighborhood and then you casn post things for free on their for your neighbors to pick up from you. You can also post this stuff there and say you want it to go to a charity or school. People do this on there all of the time.
Here is what you do.
1. Go to yahoo.com
2. In th eyahoosearh box, type "freecycle".
3. A numbe of listings will come up, choose the one called Freecycle - Around the Globe.
4. From there, pick USA for the country, Illinois for the state and then whichever neighborhood you want to join.
5. There is a short application to be a member (exactly like mamsource) and then you are in. When they ask you why you want to be a member, just write. I am interested in keeping usable items out of the landfill. The website matches people who want to give things away for free to people who need them. The goal is to prevent people throwing things in the garbage that can still be used by others.
Good luck!
