It makes much more sense to give an item away for free to somebody who will use it, rather than paying somebody to dispose of it. Don't like your 32" CRT television? Somebody out there wants a TV but can't afford one. Sure, it might not be the latest model, but if it's free, somebody will pick it up and give it a new home. I had a crappy (but still safe and functional) BBQ a few years ago that I gave away. The family that received it was incredibly thankful. They got the benefit of a free BBQ (they just had to pick it up), and I got the benefit of not having to haul it to the dump.

They take your stuff and recycle it or refurbish it and donate it to the needy (sounds like something you'd do, yes?) I wonder if Ottawa has a similar org?
