Do you sell, throwaway, recycle or giveaway your old but usable stuff?

If it is reasonable condition or I have no use for it any longer I ebay all my stuff. Have made around £500.00 so far and am still selling, should have enough for a nice little holiday soon.

A little of all the above, though I struck out on ebay as a medium for selling.

I give mine all to a dog charity that a friend helps to run. Haven't got the willpower to get up a 5am to sell things at a carboot, so I give it to the home because I know they will use the money wisely and unselfishly. One mans junk is another mans treasure so I never destroy anything I don't want because there is always someone else who might actually need it.

I am eternal womble i will make anything into anything and out of anything...
my next door neighbour is always throwing out perfectly good bird tables. welsh dressers..
pretty much all sorts
found a cat carrier(perfectly good nick)out with the bins but unless its in a black bag our bin men wont take it..so it came for a walk, lent one of mine out so have 3 again!
collect newspapers to line the kitty litter trays
use the boxes dog food comes in /(them big sausage things) for bear to play in
use all other boxes for gerbils/rats/mice/hamsties etc...

and do car boots etc to raise funds so wiull take in pretty much anything...
my neighbour sounds like your friends neighbour but cant fault it because i benefit from it!

I sell all my stuff at the bootsale but i do that for a part time job anyway

Depends on what it is - broken stuff goes in the bin or to the tip, other stuff I usually give away (I can't be bothered with the hassle of posting stuff to ebay purchasers) or stick it in the loft. I signed up for Freecycle having heard of it here (from you, I think, Sheps!). We've just had a new bathroom suite installed, and although some of the old bathroom furniture went in a skip, the bath is now headed for a field full of horses (to drink from), the shower is going in a run-down house nearby that a young couple have just moved into, and we still have two cabinets to give away. And best of all, they come and collect, so I just leave the stuff on my drive and it disappears!

i dont sell anything, simple reason i am on my own and dont want strangers in my home. I tend to give lot of my stuff to animal charities,mainly cos lot of the stuff are animal use only. i.e toys scratch post, cos of 3 fussy Toms.
But clothes ect, i will got to the Mcmillam shop as they looked after my dad so well.

I give as much to charity as i possibly can, other stuff i give to friends or family or get relitives to sell at boot markets thus recycling.
I wont just throw stuff away i think it is such waste my brother is very very rich and throws things away that puts him to shame he doesnt donate to charity nor ofer it to friends and family which i feel is wrong.

I don't have much as a deliberate policy anyway, when I have something I don't want I give it away on freecycle, often cos it's not worth much or not worth the effort to sell it. Simple living :-)

clothes go to charity shops. books, i tent to leave in random places with a note asking people to leave it somewhere new once read. toys goto charity shops. infact so do unwanted pressies lol.

If i've been thoroughly ground down on something that's broken and rather tatty, it may end up getting thrown. :-(

Usually, I hoard all kinds of crap and rubbish, in the belief that somewhere someday i'll find a really cool use for it. ;-)

I also hate to throw things away if I can help it We give away all that we can, but fortunately we work for a company of about 3,000 people, so we can stick stuff on the internal website for next to nothing, drop it to nothing if it's not snapped up, and ask the buyer to collect. Otherwise, I give the stuff to RSPCA or the local greyhound rescue. Books...now there's something I can't part with. :)

I hardly own anything at all. Every time I move, I sell whatever is worth anything, give things to friends, clothes/towels/linen go to a charity, and whatever is too shabby goes into the bin.

Lots of stuff either gets saved up for the school fete or a charity table-top sale. Some bits I'll give away to friends who I know need it (old sofa's, computer monitors - that sort of stuff). Everything else than can be recycled gets recycled. There's always a bit to throw away, but that can't be helped.

I sell stuff on eBay.

I sell things like CDs, DVDs, or good condition books on Amazon, but everything else that can be used again I put in charity bags we get through the door. I usually put clothes in. I recently volunteered in a charity shop and found that even if they can't use the clothes, they can put them in a rag bag and still get a small amount of money for them. Same with shoes and handbags.
