Throwplace – clear out the things you don't want

After a much-needed computer system upgrade at the turn of the year, I was left with an old 19-inch CRT monitor I could hardly lift, let alone sell it. Luckily I got shut of it via a neightbour – but if you’re not as lucky, Hippyshopper has found a site that will take your castoffs – Throwplace.com.

Giving your unwanted items to Thrwoplace is both good for recycling and good for charity.  You can either offer your castoffs to a particular charity, or designate them as Up-For-Grabs – any charity can get them. They don’t collect – but they’ll help you find a good home.
