We keep our car in the garage.

Yup, did the same myself, but freecyle thing as mentioned could be a good way of doing someone a favour and getting them to take away your rubbish at the sametime, just insist they take the lot, junk 1st,

I put my old kitchen on freecycle partly because some of the units were pretty rought, I didnt want the hassle of anyone paying and then feeling they weren't what they were expecting, and I had a very tight window (time not literally!) to work with. I said the units would be available to take on a particular weekend and the person taking them would have to come and take them down themselves. It saved me the fee the fitters would have charged for removal and disposal and gave me the feel-good factor of knowing somebody who was really desperate for them gave them a home and they didnt end up in landfill

My old kitchen went on freecycle too. Someone came and dismantled it all with a little help from the OH. It saved it going in the skip and the builders the effort of ripping it out.

My kitchen isn't even good enough for freecycle.

You'd be surprised...my doors had splits in the wood and all sorts but the woman who took them said she'd mix and match with some other freecycle stuff she'd acquired, and some of it was going into a workshop. Me and my OH are not that DIY minded and to be honest we wanted rid...just hate seeing things wasted so it's always worth a try on there

No really, it is. The doors under the sink are currently being held closed with a rather attractive rubber band and the whole kitchen has been painted (badly) twice because I changed my mind about the colour.

Any Freecycler would have to be really, really desperate. I'd be ashamed to give it away.

Rubber bands are always useful tho
