www.freecycle.org

Free...just abouts anything. System uses Yahoo groups so you do need a Yahoo ID. Sign up with your local group, you need to offer something FIRST before you're allowed to ask for stuff.

You can get anything from TVs, to bikes, computers, packing boxes, to small ornaments.

The idea of this site is to try to keep stuff out of landfill sites. It's a gret way to get rid of unwanted stuff quickly.

WARNING: You will receive a lot of messages from other FreeCyclers offering stuff so you should either use a separate email address or use Outlook Express / Outlook / Thunderbird to download the emails. Set up a Rule to filter the emails from the group into a separate folder to separate the emails.

i.e. set a rule to move all messages with "FreeCycle" in the subject to a certain folder.

Love this site, nothing but positive things to say. Have got so far...two laptop, mahoosive hamster cage, folding table and a tumble dryer. Have given away lots of our old stuff too.
