Are you buying a new fridge, furniture or other household item, but not sure what to do with the old? Following is a list of ideas.

  • Donate to charity
  • Give away to a family member
  • Give away to a stranger online – post the item on CraigsList.com.  AmericanClassifieds.com will usually let you place free classified ads for free items.
  • Give away to someone else you know who needs the item – send an e-mail to neighbors, friends, co-workers, people at Church
  • Recycle
  • Refurbish – fix up the item so that you can continue to use it
  • Repurpose – find another purpose for the item
  • Sell the item online – free to post on CraigsList.com, or small charge on ebay.com
    Schools - ask your local school or teacher if they can use the item
