www.freecycle.org

Really interesting concept. It's basically a huge network of mailing lists around the world for different areas. You can join a mailing list specific to your area (towns/communities close together)

ANYWAYS its a site to recycle your old stuff, you can post WANTED threads for stuff for free, or post OFFER threads to give stuff away. There's no selling- everythings free. But when you join, certain communities have you offer something before you can want or take something.

Think twice about throwing that chair out- somebody might want it.

It's really neat, check it out.

yea they featured it on radio here. We have a local focus 16 miles away. The best thing about re-cycling is the way people re-cycle it.

Plus ca change.
