IMHO, I'd rather hit my big toe with a sledgehammer, but then I have to deal with people all week and look forward alone time on the weekends.

I hope you sell a bunch if you decide to go for it.

P.S. The folks on here do not fall into my category of bothersome people.

You might get some new people, maybe some kids, interested in the hobby.

I'm surprized that a recycling place wouln't have picked this stuff for free.

Here we have a place called Happy Harry's that will gladly pick up any construction material, old doors etc.. that no one wants for free. They'll even tear down old buildings to salvage any construction material that is usable.

"One mans trash is another's treasure"
Here they have curb side pick up 3 times a year and you put you trash on the curb and the council comes in and removes it after a few days. There are a lot of people that drive around and pick up things they want and you may later see something you tossed out at a swap met or flea market.
I wouldn't think it would be worth you time though to sit out all day waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

Diane and Bandicoot, this woman was not prepared ..her daughter lives 300 miles away and on her last visit out there the woman purchased a house..now shes in a hurry to sell..given time we could have distributed things to thrift shops etc..the yard sale was a disaster..very quiet...we used to have curbside pickup years ago but I guess it got too expensive for the town to continue ...
