It's an old Kenmore that just fixed to just quit! No sparks, no smoke, no bangs, purely quit! I already bought a new one but would hate to simply trash it, so can I donate it to a place that will repair and give it to someone that can use it? Or what is the proper way to dispose of it, besides a moment ago checking it into the trash?
I agree near the person who said don't give it to charity if it doesn't work. Why don't you be a right person, have it fixed, and after donate it? It's a tax write off.
Or turn it into a funky planter for your front meadow.
Ha.
I'm a firm believer in never donating anything to a charity that could run out up costing the charity money. There's recycling, and then there's pushing your problems sour onto someone else. This would be the latter.
Even if the repair person were to donate his or her time, it will cost more to fix this (parts not human being easily available) than it would to buy a new cheap vacuum.
Answers: Look in the paper for places that vend or repair vacs. They may buy it off of you. It won't be much money if they do but it's better than throwing it in the trash and getting zilch for it. They'll fix it and sell it to somebody.
Give it to good will or the Salvation Army. They'll either fix it or use it for parts. Better than the landfill.
