Freecycle: Trash to Treasure - Better than Craigslist!

By
Real Estate Agent with Ask Gina & Company with Pearson Smith Realty
Freecycle is a local yahoo network group for the Cascades, Sterling, and Potomac Falls areas where residents are able to post unwanted items for pickup by other local residents. A neighbor of mine shared their success story with me about the speedy turn around time with multiple people requesting to pick up the items she was giving away. Surprisingly, there were some items that were not in working order that still generated a high demand from surrounding residents! Look around you, do you have items that you are interested in posting? Click here to join the Cascades Freecycle group and start posting those items today! This network is a great green alternative and environmentally friendly way to disposing unwanted items by preventing these items from ending up in landfills.
Remember, your trash could be someone's treasure!

I've been a member of our local Freecycle group for several years now, and have given and received many things.  It's a great site for people to help each other out (and free!).

Jim & Maria - Thanks for sharing your success with Freecycle! I usually donate what I can to Purple Heart but for the larger items like furniture, I am going to give Freecycle a try.

I keep forgetting about this. We have Freecycle here on the San Francisco Peninsula, too. I've subscribed to your blog so I don't miss other great tips you share. Thanks, Gina!
