Vox Pop: Converting clutter from trash to treasure

Quick way to dispose of lots of stuff? | Ask MetaFilter Wow, talk about good timing. 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. What's the most interesting way you've cleared your crap while doing some good? Have you got any suggestions that are clever and convenient? 28 Comments

 Book swap sites - there...Submitted by Becky (not verified) on July 9, 2007 - 12:41pm.
Book swap sites - there are tons of them. I always felt weird about unloading my dry academic european history books on Goodwill, or for that matter, on schools in Africa. They just don't seem like useful material except to a small segment of the population. And book swap sites can hook you up with those few people who do really want them. Bookmooch lets you donate your points to libraries or prisons or whatever, so you can get rid of stuff without having to get stuff in return :) » POSTED IN:
