My son went to the county fair and came back with one of those huge prize stuffed animals and we just don’t have the space for it in our house. He’s not particularly attached to it. I don’t know how to begin getting rid of this thing, no donation centers will take it, no one wants it, how do I even dispose of it? I thought I’d ask here because this has to be a relatively common issue with how annoying those things are.

I have a lot of old stuffed animals that are not in condition to donate, sell, or give away, even to an animal shelter (trust me, I’ve tried everything). I want to open up the space in my home so I need to get rid of them and I was wondering what the best strategy is when you need to throw something with sentimental value in the trash. I could put them in a separate garbage bag so that they don’t touch the other garbage? But then, wouldn’t it all get squished together in the garbage truck so it would touch the other garbage anyways? Would it be better to put them right in with the other garbage so they get dirty and I accept that they are garbage? Has any one else done something like this? Help!
