I love Freecycle! What is Freecycle, you ask? There are local groups on Yahoo where you can post items that you no longer need and that you don't care to sell. You can post an OFFER, and group members will email you with a time when they are willing to pick up your stuff. So far I've offered kids VHS tapes and a cordless phone. I've gotten quick responses and fewer hassles than selling because it's FREE, who's going to complain about that?
This service gets things into the hands of people who want and can use them, and it keeps the items out of the landfill, for a little longer, anyway. It's interesting to see what's available, and it changes constantly. Today's offers include everything from underwear (new!) to a mattress and box spring set.
Once you have confirmed that someone is picking up your OFFER, you post a TAKEN message to the group. It's that easy! Check out your local group for specific rules.
