Ever heard of Freecycle?
The concept is simple and very ingenious. It comes off the idea that someone’s trash is some else’s – free - treasure.
You have something you want to get rid of, but is is good condition and would be stupid to throw away? Go to Freecycle.org and find a community near you.
Each community is on Yahoo! Groups. You can search a little more easily here.
When you have something to offer, simply send a post to the group. A lot of people leave the item on their front lawn (weather permitting, of course) knowing that someone will come and pick it up. If you have a more delicate item, you can coordinate with the person interested.
On the other hand, you can also send a “Wanted” post, when you are looking for something.
Freecycling is a great idea, and I encourage all of you to check it out.
