If your house, garage, closet, office, etc. is full of items that you no longer need but that might be uesful to someone else, you can help these items find new homes on Freecycle and keep the items out of the landfill.
The only catch is that you have to give the item away for free - no strings attached. You post the items based on where you live, and someone who wants it comes and picks it up.
You can also post a notice indicating that you're looking for a particular item and then get that item for free.
Check it out. This is a win - win - win situation.
