Don't throw it away - FREECYCLE it!

I'll just let the folks at the Freecycle Web site explain what they are all about:

"The Freecycle Network™ is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free. The Freecycle Network was started in May 2003 to promote waste reduction in Tucson's downtown and help save desert landscape from being taken over by landfills. The Network provides individuals and non-profits an electronic forum to "recycle" unwanted items. One person's trash can truly be another's treasure!"

I've been participating with various Freecyle groups for about three years now. You won't find a nicer bunch of folks and you truly can get some really nice "stuff" for free!
