Homeware Recycling?

    I'm just after moving into a new place, and the previous tenants have left a fully stocked kitchen behind them. Since I've my own stuff already, I've basically got a tonne of clutter I need sorted out. Rather than landfill it, I'd be grateful for any advice on disposing of it in a responsible way. The junk breaks down into 3 main categories:
    1. Glassware.
    2. Homeware and cutlery.
    3. Appliances and large items (ironing board, etc.)

    I don't think freecycle is an option, because it's quite a rural location. Any other options?

    You mentioned the stuff was left by tenants - does that mean you are renting? If so, then the stuff may belong to the landlord/lady and (s)he may not take kindly to it being disposed of, so I would check that out first.

    Assuming it's all yours to get rid of, then I wouldn't be surprised if freetrade/freecycle is still an option. Freetrade lets you search by county so might be better. I think Gumtree and the other ads sites have listings for free stuff too - I'll bet someone would want it, possibly a landlord setting up a new place and might be willing to travel when there is so much stuff. Otherwise I would try a charity shop, offer it to a car booter or similar.
