Thanks for the note, chop.

Or unholy. Or not love. This +1.
My mother grew up during the depression, so
everything was saved, because "we'll find a use for it".
No, nobody wants the kitchen phone that broke down in the eighties. Also found one of those old date stampers with the rolls on it which ended in 1999. Piles and piles of mail to search through to ensure the bills were paid up. Ugh, frustrates me now just thinking about it.
While Mom was still alive, when I was up north sometimes I'd see friends come by for a visit. I used to tell them they were required to take at least one thing out of the house each time they came. I didn't care if it was straight to the trash, just help us get rid of obvious junk; if it's something you can use, that's just a bonus.
They all laughed, as if I was joking.
There were a few things of value or actual use to some people, but mostly the house contents went to the dumpster.
Go ahead and take care of that yourself for the people who are left behind, instead of imposing upon them.
