Free Cycle xA grassroots movement to reuse unwanted items. Membership is free, with one rule eing that everything posted must be free.
My new favorite web site is
freecycle.org. Freecycle is a grassroots movement to reuse unwanted items. There are nearly 1.3 million members from 2,718 "communities". Joining is easy, and free. You find a local group, email the moderator, go back and forth with a few emails and you're in. According to a press release from "Night & Day", a mainstream UK magazine:
Freecycle is like an eBay that costs nothing, and it’s finally taking off in the UK, two years after the Americans came up with it. It’s essentially an online club where users offer to pass on their cast-offs to each other free of charge, or pop in to see if anyone else is getting rid of anything they fancy. The range of goods on offer might take you by surprise, too. Last week, someone in London was offering a free car.
I haven't posted anything yet but I did respond to an offer for a free loveseat. I'm going to look at it today.

Its a great idea to freecycle but there's an even better way now. Check out GreenGonzo Freecycling, its based in the UK and lets you search for things people are giving away all over the country. If you have stuff you don't want you can advertise it. None of this will cost you a penny as it is a non-profit organisation!
