Good for you for donating your appliances. We have ReStores in the Chicago area, and it is a wonderful service in every way. We donated materials removed from our house when we remodeled rather than have them hit the dumpster.<br />One reason old refrigerators get recycled instead of re-used or sold is because old ones are so much less energy-efficient than new ones. Our electric utility will pay you to let them come take your old fridge away, and then they recycle the materials and responsibly remove/dispose of the refrigerant.<br />I use Freecycle, too, as Rachel recommended - it's a great idea to keep stuff out of landfill and get it into someone's hands who will love it.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956873259908320109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-44279419457778842282012-01-24T13:02:43.206-08:002012-01-24T13:02:43.206-08:00I'm so happy to have you here, Eunice.

I have both donated to /purchased from my local Habitat ReStore. <br /><br />I really enjoy your blog.

I use freecycle - started up in Texas, I believe - which aims to reduce landfill, and so far I've had almost everything I've ever offered taken promptly. The world is full of thrifty and/or hard-up people who need all the help they can get. <br /><br />Have a look: www.freecycle.orgrachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.com
