Is freecycle.org a good website?

Question

how so....

Answer 1

Local recycling is a great idea!  Unfortunately, freecycle doesn't really have their own site - members post messages in different Yahoo Groups depending on their location.  If you've been a member for long, the problems become very clear.

There are alternatives that address these issues, including our site listed below.

Feel free to contact me directly (email or IM) if you have any questions.

Answer 2

I like it because you meet great people and are able to help.  It is a win/win format.

Answer 3

Yes, the Freecycle website http://www.freecycle.org/ allows you to locate local Freecycle groups in your area. The groups are hosted by Yahoo.    I am a member of some Freecycle groups on Yahoo. I thoroughly enjoy them because I can reduce the clutter in my home by offering it to other Freecyclers instead of throwing it in the trash and it landing up in the landfills. And I save money by receiving something I really need from another Freecycler.

I have only had two people who did not pick up an item as arranged but all in all, Freecycling is a very good thing.

Answer 4

Freecycle.org is a great organization! I've got rid of tons of stuff (I'm dropping off a box tonight), picked up a few good things, and met some really nice people, even made a few friends.

The freecycle.org website is for information only. You locate a group in your area and join that to start the exchange.
