Boy, are you wrong! i am having trouble donating good furniture (leather loveseat, small bureau and handmade small wooden chest) to Salvation Army, Diabetes Assoc. and others. No one wants to make the effort to pick up the furniture, so now what do I do? I’m either not giving the “right” stuff or I live in the “wrong” part of town–I’m disgusted–will never donate or give to charities again! A pox on them all.

Great idea. Two comments.
1. For HWF overflow, there’s always http://www.freecycle.org.
2. If costs are too high, consider alternative transport e.g.”Pedals Power Montreal’s Moving Day” http://www.thestar.com/article/659250

I take back my June 9th whine! Last evening, July 8th, Nathalie and four or five helpers took away all our surplus furniture in a big Penske van. My 50 year old desk has gone to a 5 year old boy with artistic ambitions

Putting aside Bill’Off Topic’ Hawthorne, I have to report a second attempt at contacting helpingwithfurniture coming to nothing. The first time, we had to pay somebody $65 to cart away our furniture. Helpingwithfurniture is a great idea, but under-staffed and probably under-funded

Hello,

My name is Bill Hawthorne, and I represent maacenter.org, a leading web resource for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma cancer information. Our organization is dedicated to increasing awareness of the terrible health consequences of asbestos exposure through the distribution of the best informational materials and public outreach efforts.

I found your site through a search and decided to contact you because of its high environmental and green presence which is extremely important in our movement. Your viewers are extremely savvy and motivated. The promotion of how buildings should now be built using green products to avoid asbestos and mesothelioma as well as the awareness of past buildings and preventative steps in avoiding asbestos exposure are extremely important. My goal is to get a resource link on your site/blog or even to provide a guest posting to be placed.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to check out our website at http://www.maacenter.org. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Bill
