Got the in-laws a new appliance set and these need to go. They both worked just fine when they were put in storage last fall. Gotta get the storage unit cleaned out and these are free to anyone who can pick them up!

If you aren't interested in these can anyone let me know what I can do with them? Are there people around who take these for parts or anything?

Damn wish this was a couple months from now when we're moving into our new house and will need a washer and dryer. Don't have anywhere to store then until the. Though.
I would recommend craigslist. I know there's Atleast one guy in Columbus who will buy even broke ones for the parts then resales them on craigslist. I'm sure he would offer you a 100 or 200 for them.

They're pretty strongly anti-gay.

I guess as a religious organization that is to be expected. Now, do they actively discriminate or are they of the "love the sinner, hate the sin" variety?

Depends on who you ask and what the audience is I guess. Officially their stance is something like "we don't like gay people but if they never have sex I guess we can tolerate them".

But they've lobbied for anti-gay things before.

"In 2001, The Washington Post obtained a Salvation Army document that said the administration of President George W. Bush had promised to honor a Salvation Army request: that religious charities receiving federal money be exempt from local gay antidiscrimination laws. The day the request became public, the Bush administration said it was being denied. And in 2004, in response to a City Council ordinance requiring that organizations with city contracts offer benefits to gay employees’ partners, the Salvation Army threatened to stop operating in New York City."


http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/24/us/beliefs-salvation-army-hears-dissent-over-gay-views.html

They opposed the repeal of a law in the UK that said local authorities "shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship"

Also some of their officials say things like this (Craibe is the official):
[INDENT]"RYAN: It’s going into Romans again . . . I accept that you’re out there wanting to help people . . . I don’t accept that this sexuality that is part of my DNA is a choice. I also don’t accept the support of any religion in a financial sense, and this is what the gay community is up in arms about: that you’re proposing in your religious doctrine and the way that you train — this is part of your training of your soldiers — that because we’re gay, that — we must die. If you go to Romans, book 1, 18-32, it’s all there, mate. I mean, how can you stand by that? How is that Christian?

CRAIBE: Well, well, because that is part of our Christian doctrine –

RYAN (interrupting): But how is that Christian? Shouldn’t it be about love?
CRAIBE: — that’s our understanding of that. Well, the love that we would show is about that: consideration for all human beings to come to know salvation –
RYAN: Or die. . .
CRAIBE: Well, yes."

Agreed.

Or I'm sure there's plenty of people willing to pick them up for scrap if you can't find someone who wants them.

These are normal sized appliances, not apartment size. I actually delivered them to Goodwill and they wouldn't take them. Their policy clearly states no washers and dryers. The Columbus Furniture Bank would only take the washer but not a gas dryer. Anyone know of a salvage place that will take them? I didn't think it would be so hard to get rid of a working washer and dryer set.

Salvation Army doesn't accept appliances either.

Throw them on craigslist for $50. Someone will pay you to take them if they aren't junk.

You mean "unofficially" right?

Nowhere do they say they don't like people -- regardless of their sexuality.

Cyclemet metal recycling 2405 Harrison (off McKinley south of Fisher),

No idea of their stance on homosexuality.

No, I mean officially. They've "changed" some of their official policies as public opinion has changed but they're still officially of the "we don't condone that but as long as they don't act on it we're all sinners" opinion.

since no one on here besides you knew they were anti-gay, I wouldn't say that constitutes pretty strongly.
