As the saying goes, “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” The problem is, sometimes its hard to find the man who treasures your “junk”. That’s where Freecycle comes in. The grassroots online “giving network” has over 5 million members in 4,500 local area networks around the globe. You can log on to your region and post items you want to give away or look at what other people in your area are donating as well.
In addition to helping find a home for things you don’t want, or locating items you really need, Freecycle helps ease the burden on landfills by promoting reuse, and it helps foster a sense of community and shared resources among its members. So, go through your house today, and see what you can give away. You never know what a difference your stuff might make.
