Freecycle: What a Wonderful Idea!

I just recently joined the local chapter of Freecycle in my area. I had heard of Freecycle a while ago, but had never actually took a look at what it is all about until last week.

What a smart idea! Whoever came up with it should be rewarded somehow. I'm in the market for a treadmill or an elliptical and thought I'd list my desire on the website. Within a day, someone got back to me about having a machine and I could come pick it up at my convenience. So tomorrow, I'm heading to a neighboring town to pick it up! As easy as that, I have a new exercise machine, at no charge!

I also have quite a few things to get rid of, that others might find interesting. I'm going to list my stuff and see if anyone wants it. I love the idea of recycling and not just throwing the stuff away. If someone else can get use out of something I have no need for anymore, I'm more than willing to give it away.

If you haven't heard of Freecycle, you can check it out at www.freecycle.org. Enter your city and state to find a chapter in your area!
