Freecycle

Freecycle is a non-profit,501(c)3 organizations that is all about giving and getting free stuff from people in your area. Through your local Freecycle community you can keep good stuff out of landfills and have your slightly loved stuff end up in the hands of someone who will give it a good home. Don’t you worry. Essentially, it is a craigslist.com but all the products are free. Got something that needs a new home? – Sign up for your local group and send an email offering the product to the members of the group and designate a recipient. Need something? Check the offerings from your local group and request to be a recipient of the product and then wait and see if you get lucky.

Freecycle started May of ‘03 down in Tucson, AZ in an effort to promote waste reductions and preserve the desert landscape rather than creating more landfills. Joining is free, and each group is moderated by a volunteer.
