Downsizing, dejunking, cleanouts on the horizon

My utility ended its appliance recycling program. My fault for not going for it I guess. So now I have to find another way to offload some bigger items. I have a fridge, a freezer, 4 mattresses to start. What do you think it will cost. I hesitate to call for an estimate. I would expect more calls, just like buy your home, police chiefs in poverty.

1. Try listing the items on Craig's List in

the FREE category. We have bought, sold, and gave away stuff for years. Have another person with you when the people show up- to be safe. Always had a great experience.

2. Thanks that's quite a different way of looking at the problem

3. My trash collectors will haul away a mattress if you call them ahead of time

and wrap the mattress in a mattress plastic bag, which is quite cheap on Amazon.

4. We have Bulk Pickup here in L.A.

You call Sanitation & they pick it up on trash day, but you have to get it to the curb. (Usually it's all snatched up by freelancers before Sanitation arrives.)

5. See if there is a Green Drop in your area

They'll take a lot for free

6. Thanks for that idea Baltimike!

I was kind of aware something different was going on in thrift stores. About 5 years ago there were all these electronics in there with some other company's label. Seems like Goodwill was buying off them, or taking their off-loads.

My biggest problems are big though, won't fit in other than a truck. And they're not reusable, they should be dismantled for materials. But I see there is a green drop about 15 miles away.

The local eBay seller has shrunk.
