Over the summer the Grandkids enjoyed giving away junk from our shed to what they called their 'customers'.
They placed it on our roadside verge with a big FREE sign. Trikes, bust lawn mower, shelves, skirting, crates and more: the whole lot got taken!
The Kids' final offer was this basket of our baking apples. They went too, basket and all!
Do you ever leave out free stuff readers?
Certainly not Woodsy.

I don't remember why, but when we were teens my little brother and I were ready to get rid of our bicycles. We were sitting with my mom wondering what to do with them when I said, "Just leave them leaning against the side of the building. Someone will take them." They didn't last ten minutes.
ReplyDeleteJunk left outside in our neighborhood often sits there for days, creating an eyesore! SFZ
ReplyDeleteYes! We recently left out some furniture. If the gangsters don’t take it then it gets picked up during the bulk pick up garbage day (which is every two weeks)
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me of a pet peeve. Sometimes I'll put an electrical appliance out with the garbage. Something I don't need anymore, but still good. Apparently someone comes along even before the garbage men, and cuts the cords off right at the base. Making the items useless landfill. I can't stand that! Who the heck do they think they are?
