My co-worker (and friend) recently told me about this site-no it's not a money making site and no I don't want referrals lol... it is a site where you can "recycle" your good but unwanted or unneeded things. I don't think It's international but it definitely is for Canada and the USA, But basically it's a big "free to you" site. You can find a local one and join that group. How it works is someone will put up a message of what they have and want to get rid of, then it's a first come first get thing. AND the best thing, is it's all free free free!!! This site is all about keeping perfectly good stuff out of the dump and saving everyone money. I give away things I don't want to people who are looking for them. I've seen everything from beds and fridges and stoves to skates and plants. The only hitch is anything you want to post has got to be free and if you want to get something it's usually a "you come and pick it up" sort of thing so I suggest that if you do join, join a local group lol... But I think It's an amazing and novel idea. I love it. Not only does it save the environment but it saves people money. There is literally something for everyone. So I just thought I'd write this post to let everyone know it is there in case you want to join or just go and take a look. You can get some good stuff, seriously.

be careful, some of the people on there are big haters!! i joined and because i didn't post enough recycleable materials, they got evil on me. might just be that i'm in socal and everyone wants something for nothing... also be careful putting your addresss up there... freaks surf looking for people to bug

Wow! I'm sorry you had a bad go of it.... That's horrible... I guess it takes all kinds of people in this world, sorry...
Also I wouldn't put my address up there, only if I had confirmed that someone actually wanted something. I'm usually very cautious on the Internet in general. But thanks for the pointers!

yes the site is the best ever has helped me and some friends out a lot these couple months since the flood and everything. Everyone should join and post there items someone is always looking for something and why fill up the trash wiht stuff others can use.

I thought it was cool. I hope it proves to be useful to you and yours. You can literally get anything. I mean there was this guy who had a 1997 Van that only needed a fuel pump FREE to whoever wanted to pick it up. Can't beat free can you?
