Need a desk? TV? bicycle? microwave? Get it FREE!!!
These are just a few things I have seen listed on Ontario Freecycle websites. The Freecycle Network is a private, non-profit, worldwide organization of people helping people; who rather than watching perfectly good items being thrown away, are "changing the world one gift at a time."
It's quick & simple. Fill out the form for a free membership, and then list your yard sale leftovers as "offers" or items you're looking for as "wanted". Note: People are encouraged to try to list as many "offers" as "wanteds". Think you don’t have anything to offer? You'd be surprised what people need for craft supplies. List it-before you toss it!
Tips-Here are some tips in addition to the Freecycle Guidelines
1) Use an email that doesn't contain your name
2) Sign up for Freecycle in all the areas you visit
3) Arrange a porch pick up for your offers at a time you'll be home
4) Put the items out at least 1/2 hour before pick up time
5) When picking up an offer, tell someone where you’re going
6) After picking up an offer, post a "received" to thank the person
IMPORTANT- get all your friends involved-
