Freecycle is a great thing (although, if you live in a large area- you can get a few too many emails). I use them and my SIL does too. She got some free exercise equipment.

I have blogged about it on my site before- it's a pretty cool idea.

Anther great source for this kind of thing (but baby and kid related) is http://freepeats.org/ . Until the 20th they are doing free membership.

I adore Freecycle! I actually belong to the one in my town AND the groups in the surrounding towns. I've been able to give away a lot of my unneeded items, and I have received coupons, baby clothes, a bread machine, a stroller, and yard toys from other freecyclers. It's a great way to connect with other like-minded folks too, I've made a few friends that I wouldn't have met otherwise!

I love freecycle! I've picked up some great items and I love that I can get rid of things to people who are looking for them instead of just dropping them off somewhere!

My girlfriend just told me about this great organization in our area. She's used it several times & swears by it. I have yet to try it - but I will!

I LOVE freecycle! I actually belong to 2 of them, as they overlap the area we live in. We have been able to pass on many things that we no longer need, and have gotten some great things as well!

It's wonderful to know that they are going to someone who actually WANTS them, rather than just to goodwill where they may be tossed or into the trash...

I love Freecycle. It helped me clean out my basement AND my garage and not feel bad about throwing stuff out. There is always somebody who needs or wants those things! Plus I got tons of fantastic perennials this spring from other freecyclers.

Absolutely! I have used it but wasn't pleased with my "goods." I still remain a member and they post wonderful stuff - you just have to be quick on the response time.
