Freecycle.org

[Ironcat]

I don't know if any of you have heard of this organization or have one near you but it is a free BBS type thing to keep usuable things out of landfills.

Person A: Posts what they are looking for

Person B: Posts things they have available

Sometimes you guys are giving and looking for the same thing. I have gotten quite a few supplies this way and someone today just offered me 8 working 17" monitors so there is stuff to be had out there.

[ajmilton]

sounds like somebody's version of craigslist...

There's quite a few of these in the UK, but I've never signed up for one. It would be a good idea.

I'm a very environment-conscious person, so I'm all for this.

I'm a very environment friendly person. I hate the advert (in the UK) where it actually shows you the polution coming from different things as it scares me to think what the world is coming to.

You can see the advert here (Very bad quality thouh sory!)

You live in Florida as well? If you dont mine me asking, where at? I too would like to get involved, I have so much stuff to get rid of.

[Ironcat]

I live in Boynton Beach and subscribe to both the Boynton and the West Palm Freecycle.
Where are you at?

[TheMovement4]

Central Florida area, town outside of Orlando, if you know any near me, please let me know. I google around for a bit.

Alright thanks, I signed up for the Clermont group, closes one near me.

[Omega]

I'm suprised -- my little town has 244 (soon 245) members.

(it's not in floor-it-ah, though)

[TheMovement4]

Thank you again! I posted asking if anyone has any computer parts, and I got like 5 people alright saying they have stuff laying around and wouldnt mine giving it away. One guy said he has about 40 computers, and said I could get what I can...

[simon275]

They have groups in Australia to Huzah! Nice find.

[Ironcat]

After all the help and advice you guys have given me, finding Freecycle for you is the LEAST I could do...
