I've been meaning to post about this for ages, but my memory is like a sieve lately....

Freecycle is an incredibly cool idea that works really well.
It's basicly recycling stuff that you don't need anymore, but someone local to you conceivably might. 
You'd be amazed at the stuff that gets offered... anything from a bag of babies clothes to a caravan.... It's also a good way to get rid of that old TV or bag of books you've got lying around.... someone is bound to want them.

All you do is join a group ,they're all over the globe... here's the home page so you can look to see if there's one near you.

I've yet to try for anything, I find it fascinating just seeing what people are desperate to get rid of.

So go on, why not give it a go....
