WHY doesn't Everyone Freecycle on their local yahoo groups ?

Question

Here in the UK and over the pond in the USA its a very fast growing way to recycle just about anything,and keep good stuff out of landfills..

Answer 1

I love freecycle! It is so much easier then making trips to the thrift stores to donate things. I have gotten all of my sons clothes thru freecycle and when he outgrows them I re freecycle them. It's wonderful knowing that more people are becoming aware that their things don't need to be thrown away. We can give them away to someone else to use.

Answer 2

I don't know. I think it is so great, I volunteered as a moderator!

Our local thrift stores are so overloaded with stuff, they sometimes turn donations away. (What does that say about our society? Too much stuff!)

When my ex husband move out, he left behind tons of stuff (literally). Much of it was not good enough to donate (how about decades old electronics magazines?), but much of it found good homes thanks to Freecycle. That includes all those boxes of old magazines!

I got a bunch of Altoids tins for my Girl Scout troop, and odds and ends that were very useful to my household.
