I had several yard sales and made nearly daily donations to Goodwill, but I couldn’t keep up with the massive purge.
So I turned to Freecycle.
Freecycle — which combines “free” with “recycle” — started in May 2003 in Arizona to reduce waste in downtown Tucson and prevent the surrounding desert from being overrun by landfills. Now with a network of more than 3,600 groups and 2.3 million members worldwide, this online service is open to individuals and nonprofits alike. Membership is free, by joining the Yahoo group through www.freecycle.org.
Freecycle’s only rule: Everything must be free, legal and appropriate for all ages.
