Wishful thinking... those non-profit orgs ain't stoopid... lucky to
get a receipt for $25 on a used oven... and they're not gonna send a
truck to pick up one item. Where I live large kitchen appliances are
best put out at the curb with the trash, my private trash guy charges
$10 to pick up a stove... last time I got lucky, someone glommed my
old stove before trash pick-up day... seems in rural areas folks ain't
picky, any furnishings I put out gets picked up in under an hour. Old
computers I donate to the local school, I have to deliver and last I
delivered a PC they were giving their standard $50 receipt, and that
was for a working PC with monitor, keyboard, and speakers... was way
outdated capacity/speed wise but schools can use them, plenty good
enough for teaching purposes.
