Freecycle best way to post a wanted ad...

I'm thinking about posting an ad on Freecycle.com for my area and am wonder what is the best way to go go about it. Should I just come out and say Wanted Free scrap metal or your recyclable metal and state what I do take or should it be what I don't take and if they have any questions on if I'll take it to call me. I know that I read on here to keep an eye open but I have some what a hard time with the fact of answering an ad on a frige that works and scraping it when some one in my area is worse off then me can use it with the way the times are call me soft lol but it's just the way I think/am.
The Flyer I have out now say's this :
Wanted
Free Scrap Metal
Stoves
Refrigerators
Washers
Dryers
Non-Working Lawn Mowers and Snow Blowers
and
Scrap Metal
Will Pick up Free
Call

With tear tags on the bottom
I've gotten 3 calls the first was a flop the guy wanted me to buy his snow blower for a 150 bucks then I'd get the scrap after I explained I wasn't interested in the sb he was using his scrap pile
The second was a little better got some alum and some steel not much
The third was awesome a frige, tin, bike some pipe from a close line and I have to look at at a trailer house frame this week coming up and he's going to talk to other folks and give them my name and number. My phone isn't exactly ringing off the hook lol so I thought I'd give the freecycle route a try.

I always put on my ads that if you are not sure we take something they should call and ask. And when they do call it is usually for things that we take and the customer didn't know it can be recycled. If you are having a crisis of conscience over taking working items then advertise for non-working items only. I understand your feelings but we are in a business where we make money from things that people no longer want or need or are outdated. If its something that you really think would benefit someone then you can always scrap it and make a donation to a worthy cause.

How does this sound :
Wanted Free Non-working,outdated or unwanted Items :
House hold appliances:
Stoves refrigerators Tv's lamps microwaves computers washer's dryers Hot water tanks...
Out door:
Old grills lawn mowers snow blowers ...
and metal
if you have any questions call me @ xxx-xxx-xxxx
or email me
I will Pick items up free

Being picky....outdoor is one word, at the bottom put "all pick ups are free". I would put that in bold lettering and maybe in red to catch the customers eye. Otherwise I think it sounds good.
