Freecycle

Freecycle.org is a wonderful way to help save the environment by recycling perfectly good items you no longer need or use anymore and keeping them out of the landfill.  It's a way to get things that you are looking for FREE also - who doesn't like FREE?

Here's how it works...go here to find groups in your area and sign up.  Once you are activated, you will start to receive e-mails from other "freecyclers" who are either looking for specific items or posting specific items that they want to find a new home for.  If you are interested in what they are posting, or if you have what they are looking for and want to move it along to a new home, you respond directly to them with information so that you can arrange an exchange.  You can also post e-mails that will go out to the whole Freecycle group with items that you no longer need or use and with items that you are looking for.  It really works great - we were able to get rid of a whole stack of drywall once, just by answering someone's post.
