I've been doing some spring cleaning, and it's such a delight to send good stuff out the door to people who really want it! That's what Freecycling is all about.
If you've never heard of it, Freecycling is often conducted via an internet group, which are formed (often on Yahoo or MSN) by locality. My particular Freecycle is centered in my county, and there are other groups for other metro areas in the region.
Someone who has something they want to give away posts it to the message board, and people who would like to have it e-mail the person offering, and arrange pick-up. It's super-convenient, and it's totally free.
So far, I've given away a home gym that had to be dismantled before it would fit into a pick up, a shabby recliner, a bag of partially used perfumes and lotions, a pair of shoes, a terrarium, extra liriope, and other stuff. Just think of all the stuff that's being kept out of the landfill!
Look for a Freecycle group in your area, and bless someone with things you no longer need! And now, excuse me while I find more good things to give away;-).
