Freecycle

I've been a member of freecycle for a couple of years and have gotten rid of lots of stuff that I consider "junk" but was someone else's treasure. Last item to go was a 10 yr old broken big screen tv that was going to the curb for the trash man. Posted it on freecycle and someone came and got it that day.

From Gimundo.com:

Look around your house. If you're anything like us, your humble domicile is stuffed to the gills with all sorts of useless junk. Sure, that deep fryer seemed like a good idea at the time – before all those onion rings started wreaking havoc on your waistline. And since you've taken your music into the digital dimension, your CDs have gained a lowly second life as coasters.

Your cast-offs are too good for the trash heap, but not valuable enough to sell. So what can you do with them? Easy: Freecycle. It's just what it sounds like – a free way to recycle your unwanted possessions. At freecycle.org, you can sign up for a local Freecycle online mailing list. Each day, you'll receive notifications of what people near you are giving away – it could be anything from a bicycle to a box of diapers (unused, of course). Whenever you see something you want, just send an email to claim it – no strings attached.
