Freecyle!

Got closets and basements full of stuff you never use? Need stuff but don’t feel like paying for it? Try Freecycle – a never-ending garage sale of free stuff.

Freecycle is a network of 1.5 million people connected via online community groups who give and/or receive stuff for free in their own hometowns everyday. Everything from toys, to computers, to household items is available in an online, always-on garage sale for free stuff. Number of Freecycle Communities as of today: 3,094.

This concept helps keep stuff from going into our landfills. Reuse/recycle means less need for virgin material, and it reduces the strain on valuable resources, such as fuel, forest and water supplies. Promotes a sense of community spirit, and teaches kids (and, um, er, adults – see Personally Speaking) the importance of giving.

I use Freecycle on a regular basis.. I got my windows to start the coldframe there. I got a load of cinder blocks to use in my raised beds... I got a free coffee table too...

It is especially good for bigger items like furniture that you may not want or have the measn to haul off on your own. I got rid of EVERYTHING in my garage to other freecyclers.
