I've noticed in comments on this week's clutter posts that there's a lot of interest from you all in the away part of "throw away" -- people seem to have a lot of ideas on the most interesting, charitable, creative, and environmentally-responsible routes for converting your own trash into someone else's treasure. So far we (and that AskMe thread) have covered:
What's your creative solution? Let's try to avoid names of specific businesses and charities except inasmuch as they offer a truly creative and non-obvious solution to reuse or recycling.

I just finished grad school. Textbooks go out of print REALLY quickly. There are new ones issued every 2 or 3 years. What to do with old textbooks? I found Books for Africa. Books for Africa takes textbooks and delivers them to places in Africa. They are approved by the Smart Givers Network. They get 4-stars from Charity Navigator. http://www.booksforafrica.org/ » POSTED IN:
