Hi I am so new to this but I wanted to say this, I am on freecycle.com for my state and city,it is free to get on it and lots of time a lot of people have coupons and also free stuff like clothes or furniture. so if you go to freecycle .com you can put in your state or city or both and then watch the post and get all kinds of free stuff.Please give it a look ok.

hey thanks for this site it rocks

I love my freecycle group too. I have gotten and given away a lot of good stuff there. It is so fun to see my unloved stuff going to a good home. :)

so I just figured out after at least a year of intermittently trying to go on freecycle to try it out, that it is freecycle.ORG .... not .... .COM....

I am a member of Freecycle in Cincinnati, Ohio. I love this group. I have received and given many items through freecycle and the best part it's all free. Free to join. Free to give. Free to receive.

I run our local group here in Indiana. I love it most of the time.

I am in the Cincinnati Ohio freecycle. It's a great way to give away things that would normally end up in a landfill. I had the ceramic insert and lid from a crockpot that died--I would normally have thrown it away but I posted it on freecycle and someone else needed it because theirs had cracked. It's great!

I really like freecycle. We've answered requests for an old cell phone once or twice, given our old babyfood jars to a boyscout troop and received snowpants, toys, etc. from it. I hate throwing out stuff I KNOW someone could use but it really has no value and you only reach so many in a garage sale. I love it. Ours dosn't permit trading coupons though (or btfe, campbells, etc) :( I wish I could just post "can I pick up your coupon inserts?" or something like that.

This is a group on yahoo. People try to keep stuff out of the landfills and give it away to other people. Listing are usually under 3 categories: Offer, Wanted or Taken. You have to be a member of this site to look at information. I have been a member for a long time and I don't get any spam from it. Go to yahoo and click on groups. Search the groups. They are often listed under the name of a city or county. Type the city or county name and freecycle after it. Items are always locally around you. It has a moderator and information has to be approved before it can be listed. No live animals. One person's trash is another person's treasure!
