Tiffany, I will confess I've put a few things out to the curb that someone could have found some use for. A lot of those things have been picked up by neighbors who had a use for them. Good for them.
And even stuff that doesn't work any longer sometimes gets picked up. Every year we have a large-items pickup day. A man who lives in another part of the county prowls the town in his truck looking for items he can repair or use for parts, or sell for scrap. Things like old washing machines or driers, microwaves, etc. Really an old-fashioned junkman. Old mattresses, though, usually end up at the dump. No one seems to want those.
