Now I found out I don't even need to pick it up... she works in my end of town and is supposed to DELIVER everything after lunch today (Saturday).
Normally there's not much good on Freecycle (mostly worn out kids clothes and broken TVs) but I have had a lot of luck over a long period of time:
* LC475 complete system mint from original owner (another 68kmlaer has that one now)
* 7300 system that caused me a lot of headaches
* Amiga 1200 and 500 with lots of good stuff. The 1200 is my main Amiga now.
* various C64s
Another thing I used to do is watch for newsgroup/craigslist/buy&sell/etc ads for stuff I know will never sell... then contact them later and offer to take the stuff away for free. Got a batch of 5 nice Macs in one load that way one time, and an inbox 6500 system that cleaned up nicely (that one took a ton of work though).
