nodilberthere, i am with you, we are closet dumpster-divers, too! shhh, don't tell! jdarg, i agree, something should be done! even if "free" isn't the way to go, at least these items could go to the local thrift store & they could resell & make money to help people in need. (caring & sharing is the only local one that i support--the others are way too expensive. caring & sharing truly help people!) any ideas anyone?
