If you have something you don't need anymore, but it's something that someone else can use, don't throw it out. The landfills are full enough. There's a website called freecycle.org that helps people find others that are looking for used items or that have used items to give away.
I just gave away an old laptop that I no longer need. Someone put out a request for one, and I was able to help out. It's an old one that I bought back in 1999 (ancient by today's standards) It's a 300-Mhz Pentium II with 320 megs of ram. That thing cost me $3,000.00 when I bought it, and I took out a twelve-month loan to pay it off. Noe I'm giving it away because I doubt I could more than a few bucks for it today. That's OK, the couple I gave it to looked like they were just starting out their lives together, and they could use the savings.
