Looking to Get Rid of Household Items? Or Maybe Looking For A New Fridge or Bed? Join FreeCycle

August

I wanted to share and let everyone know about Chester County Freecycle, www.freecycle.org, a Yahoo! group devoted to helping keep household items such as furniture and appliances out of landfills by offering them up FREE to other county residents.

My wife and I have used Freecycle for over a year and have already cycled in a spare refrigerator and a few toys and book for our young kids. Things that we’ve given away to others have included an electric treadmill, an older (still in good condition) refrigerator, weed whackers, lawn spreader, and other various items.

If you’ve never heard of FreeCycle I suggest that you stop over and check them out. Here is a sampling of an email that you can get. (Also, if you join, I suggest that you select Daily Summary for the emails, that way you get one message a day!)
