Q&A Period
I received a good comment in my guestbook: Why don't you donate your furniture to goodwill or something instead of renting a dumpster and throwing it out? reuse, recycle, provide for another family in the process... And I have a good answer to that: Because the furniture that is going out would not be accepted by the Goodwill. I don't know about your Goodwills, but in the Bay Area they are picky picky picky. The couch is threadbare and has holes. Goodwill won't touch it. Remember, this is furniture that was donated to US after the fire, and some of it even barely survived the fire and has sat in the garage for 3 years. It's all had quite a few lifetimes and shows it. It's dumpster material for sure. We have already donated and sold at garage sales over the last 3 years anything that can be saved. The rest is just junk that holds up the TV and is comfortable for us to sit on, but no one else wants it. Believe me, we refuse to throw away anything. The Goodwill gets anything I can convince them to take. But when it comes to furniture there are very few places in the Bay Area that will take old, beat up things. And my house is now overflowing with this stuff. It has to go. Posted by Pischina at March 21, 2006 11:49 AMComments
