What is a Freegan?

Re: old furniture... does donating it to goodwill count? I would think so. We cleared out all sorts of stuff that way before our move.

The only thing I regret is the mattress & box spring that they wouldn't take. We threw those out at the dump, and I regret it for two reasons: 1) they were in perfectly good condition; and 2) I now wish I had them back, because we have a bedroom that lacks a bed. But at the time, it was decided that they had to go.

Anyway, I'll keep Freecycle in mind. Thanks.

Sure, I would think goodwill "counts" (with all the authority vested in me, I hereby give you five "the righteous among the gentiles will have a place in the world to come" points )

Lack of space for temporary storage ("we need to dump it NOW, and no ones offered to pick it up yet") and difficulty transporting ("that sounds cool, but we need a pick up instead of our sedan to get it, hey, wait a minute, isnt this about the environment?") and convenience are all issues.
