What to do with recalled crib parts
Our crib was recently recalled and as soon as we move ds into his new toddler bed we'll be dealing with the process of getting a voucher for a new crib for baby #2. The ef problem I face is that to 'return' the crib to the company we have to take it completely apart and send them back all the hardware and installation instructions. This leaves us with a bunch of huge crib pieces that are basically heading to the landfill.
Any ideas of what I could do with these pieces to avoid just throwing them out? I thought of freecycling it but I don't want some desperate person taking it and trying to put it back together with new hardware or something and using it as a crib. Not only has it been recalled for safety issues but without the proper assembly instructions or the hardware that came with it, I'm afraid it would be a death trap if someone tried it. I could obviously put a disclaimer on the post saying that I'm only giving it to someone who wants to use the wood for scrap or for another purpose other than as a crib but someone could always lie if they were desperate enough so I'm just not sure what to do.
I just hate the thought of chucking it at the curb - plus then really there's the same risk of someone coming by and taking it and this time they don't even get the disclaimer that it was recalled and unsafe . . .
