Roanoke Times: Reduce. Reuse. Remix.
Junk. With the exception of perhaps the very young or the very newly parentally liberated, we all have it. It’s everywhere — at the office, in the bedroom, in the kitchen. Well, it’s time to do something about it. While it’s not exactly spring cleaning season, it’s never too late (or early?) to take inventory and take charge of your stuff. Good starting places for junk removal are found all over the Web. The old standbys, eBay (ebay.com) and Craigslist (craigslist.org), are great if you know you’ve got something others want. One Web site you may not be familiar with is the Freecycle Network (freecycle.org). If you’re looking to give something away or get something for nothing (literally), this is the site for you. But for the rest of the stuff? The junk that sits around day after day because you just don’t know what to do with it? That’s where this column comes in. It is here to help you.
