The trick is to offer something only when you will already be making 
the trip into "a" town. Offer to deliver it a commonly know place. If 
they don't show up (it's happened to me) just swing by the land fill 
or thrift shop and get rid of it there.
For taking something you'll either have to be going there already or 
have the trip worth what you are getting.
