Ever heard of it? It is a fantastic site with local groups all over the nation!

We all have "stuff" that we just don't need anymore. Don't throw it out! There are many people seeking exactly what you have! Freecycle allows you to post your items (items that are FREE) to give away. This is a completely non-profit group doing it's part in recycling "stuff". It is a great way to keep things from clogging up the landfills, it makes you feel good to help another out and it also cleans out your closets and garage!

Not only can you give things but you can also receive. Sign up - start looking and you'll be amazed at some of the treasures that you might find! There is everything from office equipment, to clothes, to DVD's and sports equipment - LIMITLESS!

If you are one of my faithful readers and are looking for the Wake County group - I just provided you with the link - Happy Searching!

A little less cluttered in My Back Yard....

Giving and receiving stuff that others can use is a wonderful concept Leesa and these folks appear to make it an efficient process.

I am a member of Freecycle Orange County. It is an interesting group. I have not posted anything yet but read the email notifications. I suggest the digest form if you area is active or you will get a million emails (well maybe not quite a million but....)

Gary - I have used the site quite a few times and it is awesome! I had my sons high chair and some crib bedding that I gave away - you should have seen how excited the young mother was that got the "stuff".

Paddy - You make a great point!!! I have to do digest as well or I would be FLOODED with emails

Leander - I have never heard of that site - I'll will certainly check it out. Thanks for passing it along.
