- reedjosh 5y agoAgree. The prices to trash the junk in my aunt's garbage when she passed made it a gross game of 'do you think Goodwill will take it?' It would have cost thousands had we not sorted most of what ostensibly _was_ garbage into Goodwill acceptable piles.
- WalterBright 5y agoLife pro tip: don't preserve stuff for your heirs. Odds are they'll take half of it to the dump and the other half to goodwill.
- treeman79 5y agoUsed to go regularly. Could always tell when someone had died. Huge amounts of matching tacky decorations.

They charge a discounted rate to haul all the stuff away, then keep what they can sell in their store, donate most of what’s left for a tax deduction that they keep, and haul the rest to a landfill.

- Scoundreller 5y agoA lot of cities too.
- dylan604 5y agoSet it on the curb. Somebody with a truck will be along shortly. No need to call. They'll "know"
- bombcar 5y agoThis is the way. If it looks to be in reasonable condition OR it is mainly made of metal it'll disappear relatively quickly.
- ectopod 5y agoFridges are mostly plastic. In the UK the somebody with a truck will cut out the compressor motor (releasing all the gas) and leave the rest of the fridge. Now you have two problems.
- aspaceman 5y agoThat is wild to me. In the U.S hicks will still take the fridge. Source: my uncle has five goddamn refrigerators in our garage.
- dylan604 5y agoHow many cars that do not run are in the "back" and how many washer/dryers are in the front yard? Otherwise, I think you are doing a disservice to ther term hick
- magicalhippo 5y agoMy coworker tried that. Didn't work, stood there for days. So he wrote a sign: "Don't touch! Will be picked up tomorrow" Thing was gone the same night.
- dylan604 5y agoNever seen that approach. Instead, I've seen the opposite of adding a sign that says "Free/gratis". Much more positive message to encourage someone to take it.
