Freecycle

[Guest guest]

I love Freecycle. Last month a member gave me a garbage size bag filled

with skeins of yarn. I asked for my elderly neighbor who makes crochet

lap blankets for nursing home residents. I then asked for beads as a

friend is a crisis counselor and uses them for therapy with her

clients. A very nice lady gave me a huge bag of beads for my friend. We

give things away too.

It is a great place to recycle and everything is free.

I run an organic produce co-op and needed another refrigerator to keep the

ladies orders chilled. I got one on Freecycle.

That is where I got my crockpot, most of my kitchen gadgets, my dishes and

lots of stuff. I give lots of stuff, too. I gave away a freezer to make

room for the new refrigerator. Right now I am exspecting someone to come to

pick up 10 yards of brand new carpet.

Anyone who hasn't looked into freecycle is missing something great. And it is

all free! Happy freecycling.

I'm also a big fan of freecycle. It feels great to see someone be so happy to

use something I no longer have any use for. I also am grateful that we were

able to keep 'stuff' out of our landfills. Almost all of my garden supplies

came from freecycle.

me too, Donna got me onto it. I've gotten some good stuff. Today I pick up a

bag of yarn a man is giving me that was his deceased wife's. She died of

cancer, and I put out the call for yarn to knit chemo caps. He seems pleased

that her yarn will go to that cause and I'm happy to have some yarn to use for

it. Almost all of my stash is too itchy. Amy

What an awesome idea! That would have been great for a friend of mine. She

didn't like the wigs. Thankfully, her hair has all grown back.

I am actually co-owner of my local Freecycle board. It is a wonderful

means of keeping things out of landfills and keeping useful items in

circulation. =)

books, magazines, towels, and the wonderful rice cooker I was able to

pass to Jeanne. Freecycle is A+

Let's see. Two suggestions. The first is easiest, find a Freecycle closest to

you and join. The second (and harder) suggestion is to start a Freecycle group

yourself. The information on how to is at the Freecycle site. Wish I was more

of a help, darn it!

but there is not one for my area any suggestions?
