Note: this page is now obsolete. Back in the day, I found less stuff and so was able to devote more time to these giveaways. I now give things away by leaving it on the curb where other people can find it, which is easier and much less time consuming. I leave this page up as a testament to the kind of stuff you can find a taker for if you put it on the Craigslist free section (and other similar websites). These are still valuable tools if you’re looking to declutter or minimize your possessions.

[…] The things I’ve given away […]
I LOVE THIS BLOG!!!! I am a shameless trash picker in New Jersey, and my picking buddy is my 90 year old uncle. We find so many incredible things (most of which we give away) but more than anything it’s just so darned much fun! and some of the people throwing their stuff out are SO NICE, and delighted that someone is taking their stuff. I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog and love the pictures, too. Best wishes to you in your future ventures. Happy Hunting!
Sounds like a good time! Glad you like the blog.
