I’ve recently added a local, Nevada County resource to the Freebies and Downloads page. It’s a list of resources for getting rid of your stuff. You’ll see that the dump aka Transfer Station is mentioned on the page because really, that’s the only place that will take the junk sometimes. However, whenever possible keep stuff in use!

If someone can use that lamp that you no longer want, that’s one less thing to be produced (in some other country, most likely) and shipped over here for purchase. If you no longer want or need it, by all means, it’s time for it to go. With a little effort on your part, you can help it find a new home where it will be appreciated and enjoyed.

The list is by no means an exhaustive list of businesses and resources that will help your stuff get to its new owner. It is however, a start. It should also give you some ideas as you look through your stuff. All the contact info for these resources are from the phone book–I’ll bet you have one of those!
