Freecycling: Converting trash to treasure - Beverly Citizen

Last summer I suggested that parents unite to redistribute their oversized and underused plastic toys. I recommended some system that involved signal flags if I recall. A friend remarked, “You know Esther, www.freecycle.org already does that — except they are online and you don’t have to create, umm, special flags.”

So I checked it out. Sure enough I found a huge virtual sidewalk of stuff that people no longer want but are happy to give away — for free.

The mission of freecycle is to create a “worldwide gifting movement to ease waste and . . . reduce the burden on landfills.” All it takes is a Yahoo account and an email and you too can swap unwanted debris.
