How to get rid of a pink bathroom

Hey ladies, I'm redoing my 1960's pink bathroom and am trying desperately to find a way to donate my tub, shower doors, toilet and sink. While I've found a dozen or so sites dedicated to keeping these things, I have found any on how to get rid of them without sending them to a landfill.

 I've queried ReStore, but because there is some minor hard water build up and scuffs, they don't really want them. No one wants the toilet because it's tank is too big.

My only other option is a recycling center and their charges are pretty high for us right now.

 

Any suggestions?

    Don't do it!  Save the pink bathrooms!

     Sorry, I love my pink bathroom. Embarrassed

    ETA, also call around to any local theatres and see if they want it for their props stock.

    The theatres isn't a bad idea but be prepared for none of them to want it.  Storage for that stuff is really tight and unless they need it for a current or very upcoming production chances are they will pass.  Freecycle is probably your best bet.  Is the tub cast iron?  If so be prepared to not be able to get it out in one piece, those suckers are heavy.  A lot of times they are broken to get them out of bathrooms.  Good luck I am just wating to get rid of our pink and purple bathrooms, that's right plural we have two.  They aren;t even cool retro they are just ugly.

    If the bathroom had been in good condition, we probably would have kept it even though it is not my style, but the floor and walls needed to be torn out so we just gutted it. And my amazing H got the tub out whole.

     

    Thanks for the advice, I applied to join freecycle yesterday.

    You could try craigslist too. My aunt got rid of her blue bathroom that way.

    I suggested it because I'm a props master for a theatre and would love a colored set for my stock. Stick out tongue

    I think you should dispose of the toilet. Older ones use a crazy amount of water compared to new ones.
