Nah,  that won't work for a number of reasons.

She won't haul any of this stuff down the stairs to put it out.  They won't
pick it up,  the local collection people having gotten very fussy in recent
times about what they'll take or not.  And I *did* toss a few monitors that
I had in storage already that I decided there wasn't any way I was gonna do
something with them.  I need to do some more of that...
