Be sure and know all the laws in your state before you do. Here in Georgia, it is ok to turn in appliances such as dehumidifiers and window a/c units without requiring paperwork. I looked it up on the Secretary of State website just to make sure. However, there are yards out there that dont know the law and/or are too scared to take anything because they think they will get in trouble. I have offered to show them the specific law online or even print copies, but like most yards they cant be bothered and just muddle around with what they know instead of expanding their knowledge. If your state is the same, try and find a yard that takes the time to educate themselves and dont fear taking such items because they know they are covered. They may also have a good suggestion for you regarding the other items. Dont give away hard earned money without checking it out first. Good luck!
