Freecycle

Did I men­tion this before? I find the notion absolute­ly won­der­ful. There are local lists for most areas.

Freecy­cle
One rule: every­thing post­ed must be free. Whether it’s a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door to be giv­en away, it can be post­ed on the net­work. Or, maybe you’re look­ing to acquire some­thing your­self? Respond to the post­ing direct­ly and you just might get it. After that it is up to the giv­er to set up a pick­up time for pass­ing on the treasure.

Non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tions also ben­e­fit from the Freecy­cle Net­work. Post the item or items you want to give away and a local orga­ni­za­tion can help you get it to some­one in need.
