www.FreeCycle.org - I enjoy participating in
Freecycle, which is a free network of people in your neighborhood who
have stuff to give away. All you have to do is arrange to go pick it up!
And you can post your free stuff also. I've used it several times and
have given away lots of things. So much better than having clutter
around your home and you know your stuff will go to someone who wants
it. You can get really nice things, too! Like
yarn! |
