Our local Freecycle has a guy who picks up non-working appliances, etc. if no
one wants to take a shot at fixing them. He separates out the sheet metal,
motors, compressors, etc. and sells the results at the salvage yard.

There are always those who chisel on the purpose. Our moderators do a pretty
good job of policing the abusers. Generally those who insist that a donee "take
all" also suggest "and Freecycle what you don't use".  Bv)=

I am amazed at the things that pop up on my local Freecycle. We had someone
offer a sailboat (28' sloop) with trailer ... come and get it. The boat need
some TLC (teak re-oiled, good cleaning, etc.) and the trailer needed a new set
of tires. But, geez, Louise - that boat without the trailer sold new for nearly
U$30 - not that many years ago.

I hooked the poster up with the Scoutmaster of the local Sea Explorer troop.
Everyone was a winner there.

I collect and clean up my prescription bottles and save my old coffee cans and
give them away on Freecycle. Crafters love them. My next give-away is my old,
but, still working 25" TeeVee - with the old style tuner. Someone on cable or
satellite will get a good glass teat - free. They just won't be able to tune
over the air channels.

MMMMM----------------HOMEMADE TARRAGON MAYONNAISE---------------------
      1 lg Egg
      1 tb Fresh lemon juice
    1/2 c  Olive oil
    1/2 c  Vegetable oil
      1 tb Chopped fresh tarragon
    1/2 ts Salt
        pn Fresh ground white pepper
 
  In a food processor or blender, blend the egg and lemon
  juice for 10 seconds. With the processor running, slowly
  pour in the oil through the feed tube and process until
  emulsified. (Should the mixture become too thick, with the
  machine running, add water 2 teaspoons at a time.) Add the
  tarragon, salt, and pepper and pulse to blend. Transfer to
  an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 min
  before using. (The mayonnaise will keep tightly covered in
  the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.)
  
  Yield: about 1 1/4 cups
  
  In a medium saucepan, place the eggs and cover with water
  by 1-inch. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low,
  and cook the eggs at a bare boil for exactly 10 minutes.
  
  Drain and rinse under cold running water. Place the eggs in
  an ice bath to cool. When chilled, peel the eggs, cut in half
  lengthwise, and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a medium
  bowl and add 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, the shallots, garlic,
  and cayenne and mash with a fork to blend. Add the chopped
  lobster tail meat and additional mayonnaise 1 tablespoon at
  a time to reach desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning, to
  taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (Salad can
  be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
  
  In a bowl, toss the mesclun with the olive oil and salt and
  pepper, to taste. Arrange across the bottom of on a large
  plate or platter.
  
  With a thin, sharp knife, cut each avocado half lengthwise
  almost all the way but not completely through to the other
  end. Place each half seed side down on the lettuce and gently
  spread out into a fantail shape. Place the lobster-egg salad
  in the center of the two avocados and the asparagus spears
  around the sides of the plate. Top the avocados with caviar,
  garnish with the tarragon, and serve.
