Freecycle.org is a website that connects people who are getting rid of things with people who want them. For free.
Their mission is to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources & eases the burden on our landfills while enabling their members to benefit from the strength of a larger community.
It is organized geographically. You join the group in your town and can post about items you need and items you are giving away.
200 million tons of stuff, from computers to bathtubs, are saved from the landfill every year thanks to this genius idea. And you will make new friends!
What a great way to get what you need and give what you can within your community!
If there is no group started in your town, you can start one now at Freecycle.org.
