One of the problems is that people who are getting something for nothing
often prove to be a pain.
They say they will come for whatever at an agreed time but then do not
show up.
Meanwhile, others have asked for the item and the generous soul who is
trying to recycle the item ends up spending more time and effort than
planned just in order to give something away.
The other alternative is the sort that says first come gets it and that
is a problem for anyone who wants the item as they have to be willing to
go immediately and to accept being beaten to the punch by someone who
lived closer etc.
I tried to give away some old computer stuff a couple of weeks back.
Several people responded and some promised to come but none ever did.
I tossed the printer and the scanner is still sitting here and I will
likely toss it too. It works but has no value in my mind so there is no
likelihood of selling it and I don't seem able to give it away.
