Luckylegs try Freecycle - we gave loads of stuff away, and we've taken one or two bits as well. Put a good photo up of the item and a good description though - I've just seen loads of entries on ours saying things like 'Curtains', or 'kettle'. Not much use. Leave it outside the door ready for collection and there's no risk to you. Some people will grab it to sell, but at least it's out of your conservatory
