Vox Pop: Converting clutter from trash to treasure

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.

One activity that I've actually enjoyed is driving my junk to the city landfill. I think everyone should do this at least once in their lives. Dumps for large cities are totally unlike what you would expect. Most of the landfill is grass-covered green hills almost like a golf course except for the top of the "active" hill which is a lunar landscape of black dirt teeming with large bulldozers. As you toss your junk out in the designated zone, tough dudes in bulldozers run it over and flatten it down as hundreds of seagulls circulate in the air above. » POSTED IN:
