Our church will come to your home for pic-up. They donate to the homeless shelters for people that are lucky enough to get a home. AmVets, American Legion, Moose, and others are happy to receive these items for the "out of luck" persons. I bet if you took them to a part of your city that are in need, and sit them on the corner, they would be gone very fast. I sometimes put mine in boxes on the curb side and mark "free." Gone in a flash. We have recycle trash pick up once a month also.
