minimizing fixtures

Yesterday we started ripping the garage apart where all our junk is stored.  We've been renovating our house but we haven't added anything (except some blinds).  We've mostly been removing things like shutters, unstable shelves, excessive hooks and a kitchen cabinet.

Most of these used building supplies have been jammed in the garage where they have been out of sight, out of mind.  I've listed some of the items on a free-cycle page and already have people interested in the shelves and shutters.  Am I becoming an enabler for others to hoard?

I remember a time ten years ago.  We had a free pile outside and one neighbour took everything.  We had to prevent him from taking our plants which weren't included in the free pile.  He was later arrested after shouting from his rooftop, "I'm going to kill this entire neighbourhood!"  Hoarding leads to harder crimes.
