Freecycle - Better than Recycle

If you have not heard about Freecycle then I know you will be thrilled. Freecycle are web based communities of people who post advertisement for giving things away from their houses. Free.


Here is the basic info from their website:
When you want to find a new home for something -- whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door -- you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of the local Freecycle group.

Or, maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond to a member's offer, and you just might get it. After that, it's up to the giver to decide who receives the gift and to set up a pickup time for passing on the treasure.

Our main rule: Everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.

Non-profit organizations also benefit from The Freecycle Network. Post the item or items you want to give away and specify that you wish the gift to go to a nonprofit cause. It's entirely your choice! It's a free cycle of giving. The Freecycle Network is incorporated as a nonprofit organization and is tax-exempt under the IRS 501(c)3 ruling.

And here is the link:

They also have http://www.freecyclefinder.org where you can look for things that you need.

Pretty Neat (lot lot better than Recycle) !
