I am amazed at what people toss out instead of trying to find someone who would want it. I understand people may not have time to try and unload all the stuff they have and it's easier to just toss it. But I try to find a home for a lot of stuff which I would have otherwise tossed. The Craigslist free section is home to a lot of people who are willing to take things off my hands. Things I would never have imagined people would want.
I'm not mister green or anything but I do try to do my part in keeping things out of the landfill if at all possible.
