Sometimes I Recycle, Sometimes I Freecycle

When I have something that I can no longer use, and I can’t or don’t want to try to sell it, I freecycle it. What’s freecycle? Glad you asked, it’s a virtual meeting place where people can post their unwanted items in the hopes that some stranger will be able to use it. Recently, I was able to send my Aiwa stereo with the broken CD player to a good home. The new owner wants to use it to record tapes. My toner for my old HP printer recently found a good home, too. It was really easy; I just met them at a mutually-agreed upon place, and viola! We were both happy. There are now 2,524 Freecycle groups around the country. Click here if you want to learn more.
