into the dumpster. If I can reach it and think I can use it or know
someone else who can or if I think it will get picked up from
freecycle I will get it.

The week before christmas a neighbor moved out and these are the
things they threw away.

Two tall shelf units - They went into my closet to help organize
things

A short shelf unit _ went to my sister to hold videos

Two T-Mbile phones complete with boxe, chargers and directions

Cassette recorder with am/fm and headphones

A label maker and and 4-5 packages of labels

a 4 inch stack of construction paper ( my kids were excited)

a roll of smilely stickers

two gameboy advance magnifiers and lights

A "under the bed"storage box full of wrapping paper and ribbon

several board games

All the discs to load quicken on the computer

probably 50+ discs for the computer (am not using them don't know
what is on them, they went back in the dumpster.)

I am probably forgetting some things.

Almost all this was in a moving box that I wanted to use to put
Christmas presents in to take to my moms. It was full of this stuff.

I have also gotten a computer chair, glider rocker and automan,
baby changer, wooden rocking chair, exersausers, booster chairs,
books, toys. some I keep, some give away and the rest freecycle.

Why fill our landfills with things that people can use. We are
such a disposable society anymore it is just sad.

Sorry this is so long, and it is just my opinion.

Have a great day.

Anita
