@GTX - you forgot to mention the kids toys. Always find lots of toys.
We try to gather anything that still has some play left in it and donate them to the local shelters for families that have lost their homes due to fire, or some other charity. But mostly the fire shelter. Fire takes everything, and a family that lost everything, kids toys are the last thing they can afford.
But the rest of that list is spot on. Christmas decorations...man If you were take all I've thrown away, you could decorate the state of Texas, right down to every cactus and tumbleweed. lol
