When possible, reuse is even better than recycling. If the toys are still in good condition, passing them along to a younger child or offering them on Freecycle are good options. If they’re like-new or collectibles, selling them on Craig’s List or eBay is an option. Even items that aren’t in the best shape may attract a buyer; I saw a “Drowsy Doll” like I used to have on eBay — it sure brought back memories!

Those not tempted by a cracked bowling ball might consider the myriad other items offered for free on websites including Craigslist, Facebook and Freecycle. Recent offerings include bathing dust for chinchillas, 23 empty beer bottles, a barrel of used soybean oil, five single-serving packets of Arby’s sauce and a Mongolian-language version of the Book of Mormon.

A quick web search and I learned that there are missions and organizations requesting donations of rosaries, religious medals, and statues. I could also list these items on Craigslist or Freecycle. Maybe someone collects ornate rosary beads or is devoted to a particular Saint.

Can Your Cookware Be Reused?

If you must get rid of pots and pans, the primary choice to contemplate is reuse. Websites like Craigslist and Freecycle are good choices for locating your cookware a brand new house, as are secondhand shops like Goodwill and Salvation Military. A couple of scratches or dings could matter to you, however that doesn’t make your pots and pans unusable.
