Has anyone considered freecycle? It's a national group that keeps things out of landfills. There is a group in Lady Lake. You register on the site. You can then post you have an offer of an item. Another freecycle member will contact you through email if it's an item they can use. Everything is free and can not be resold. One persons trash, is a treasure to someone else.
One member of the freecycle group in our area takes broken computers. He combines the working parts from each, puts them together, and donates the working computers. We had a gentleman pick up skids that had stones delivered on that we used for landscaping. We had no use for the skids and he made outdoor furniture with them. In both these cases, it would be classified as trash. The most interesting was used bubble wrap I posted. One person said if it wasn't claimed, they'd love to use it for a kids New Years Eve party and they could jump on it to make it pop. Can you imagine how thrilled someone might be with a new to them table or chair?
Please consider this option before throwing an item away.
