Freecycle

I came across the coolest invention. It is a community on the Internet who rally around the common cause of giving away stuff they no longer want or need. There is no exchange of money. You simply post info on what you want to give away (old magazines for kids' projects, electronics, CDs, anything) and wait for someone in that group to step up and say they are interested. This has been going on in my little town. I just joined last week and have been very excited about the opportunity. I answered a post from someone giving away CDs I liked. It turns out a friend of mine had posted it! Small world.
So instead of getting rid of stuff, I am actually getting more. That was not my intent... To read more about the organization and see if there is one in a town near you, go to:
