Cowichan Regional District's waste management programme includes paying to bring items to the transfer station not necessarily for disposal but for re-use. Pay to leave it there, free to take it away. I don't know why people just don't take it to a thrift store. There are two such Free Store, one in Duncan and another in Ladysmith.
We dropped in at the Duncan location today and had to ask where the site was. Linda thought it was some joke until we got there, and she found something she wanted, but never wanted to pay money for. Her first thought was, "I forgot my wallet" and the second, "Oh wait, I don't need money here".
Got 11 CDs, a German band dessinee book (not that I can read German), a German poultry shears (just had to bend the handle back, and get a spring), silver-plated flower holder (needs polish), two oyster knives, an electronic thermometer (need a battery), German asparagus peeler (needs sharpening), a made-in-Brazil Henckels peeler, a German cherry pitter, all for the grand sum of... $0.
