    First Time Curb Shopping

    Last week I decided to curb shop for the first time (not counting all the junk people have left by the dumpster at my apartment). Understand my situation though, I don't have a lot of space living in a small 1 bedroom apartment, (I have a closed patio for junk storage though) and if it doesn't fit in a Ford Focus, I can't take it. I didn't go very long, I just wanted to see what was out there. I found a box with metal garland and Christmas lights in it, a mop with a metal handle and the best find was a dehumidifier. I actually drove by while the guy was putting it out; he said he was getting rid of it because there was a recall, and it was pretty much brand new, except the plug was cut off. Now i just need to find a place that will take the freon. This was about 30 minutes of just cruising around.

    Why don't you contact the maker of the dehumidifier and see if they will send you a new one.
