Freecycle really proves that one person’s trash is another’s treasure. I know people who find great stuff given away on Freecycle. Meanwhile I look and only see junk. The other day someone was giving away a torn and worn twin size comforter. It was taken within minutes. I’ve also seen people request old toilets, scrap wood and opened paint with which they’ve remodeled their homes just by re-using free stuff.
So in my clearing out 2009 I’m gathering broken electronics, like a TV and monitors, and other miscellaneous stuff for Freecyle. Freecylce listings are localized and require you to join the local Yahoo group. Between this and Craigslist I hope to have no problem clearing out.
