Freecycling - Share what you don’t need…

Published by patti80 at 10:38 am under Frugal Families, Frugal Shopping Edit This

Freecycling is not as well known as it should be, especially in our economic situation. But, it is such a logical solution to many current issues we face. Too often we discard items that are still in good shape and working condition. The best known alternative to filling our landfills with usable goods is recycling. Recycling, even though it’s a great alternative may not be the best, since large amounts of energy are typically needed for the process. Reusing all that we can is our best solution. Freecycling is a great tool to find those that can use your no longer needed item(s), and to find items that others no longer need that you can use. Just as the old saying goes, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” This is so true, and the process is quite easy also.

Register at Freecycle.org for a group (or groups) in your area. After you are registered, you can make requests and offers. What a great way to help others, yourself, and the environment.
