    Bathroom Sink Disposal?

    Hello, I got a load of mixed garbage fro a friend who was remodeling their bathroom and kitchen. In exchange for the metal, I agreed to haul away the rest of the garbage (wood, cardboard, and sink).

    What should I do with the sink? It's about 22"x25" and made of some sort of stone. Is there a resale market for these? If offered for free, do you think anyone would want it? I hate to just throw it in a landfill.



    Thanks,
    Travis

    As long as it's not pink or some other wild color, you should get a few dollars for it on CL.

    I guess that "sink" wasn't the correct term. After searching on Lowe's, I see that it's actually called a vanity top. It looks alot like this one, but it's older and slightly beat up.

    Trash it or put in on CL for free. I occasionally pick them up if the have a decent faucet on them and then put them on CL. After a week they are off to the dump.

    Thanks for the responses. I really wasn't sure if something like that in used condition was worth anything. I'm in a rural are which is not well served by CL, but I will put it on the local FreeCycle until trash day.

    Thanks!
