Heard of Freecycle? It's the absolute best way to gift others with things you no longer want or need, and to keep them from choking up landfills. Case in point: I just today "freecycled" (it becomes a verb when you get onboard!) 1/2 of an old oil drum's worth of kerosene (used by the previous property owners to heat their greenhouses); the worn out (not to mention torn and somewhat slimy with mold) plastic and shade cloth from said greenhouses; and the plywood and 2'x4''s used to cap the greenhouse ends. At no cost on my end, I might add. Find out if a freecyle exists near you and make your junk available to the world! Do you already Freecycle? Could you see yourself participating in such an endeavor? *Small Measure: Freecycle! Your trash is someone else's treasure. You'd be surprised what other folks find value in.

If Sanford and Son were still running on TV, I bet Sanford would be a FreeCycleAHolic!
It's a great idea / great website.
I love freecycle! I haven't gotten anything from anyone else yet (I'm never quick enough!) but I love the feeling of finding some scrap wood a new home.
