Have some junk collecting dust in your basement? I came across Freecycle, an interesting web site that helps individuals recycle stuff they do not want anymore. Actually, they don’t just recycle, they freecycle — because all items offered on the site must be free.

From the Freecycle web site: “The Freecycle Network is nonprofit organization whose mission includes keeping good stuff out of landfills and helping strengthen local gifting & recycling communities.”

Freecycle groups have been established in numerous cities. Members of the groups communicate via email when they have stuff they want to offer to other members — for free.
