What to do with... fully functional odds and ends

Chugging along with Spring Cleaning! If you haven't heard of Freecycle yet, I highly recommend you checking your local chapter! I'm sure a lot of your fellow neighbours are getting in on the free stuff action - and who doesn't like free stuff? What kind of free stuff? Anything!

If you have stuff in your home that you don't want and no longer use, whether it is a broken gadget or a fully functional doo-dad, you can post it up on Freecycle! The only catch is that it HAS to be free. So many times I'd rather lose out on a little $ and just give something away for free if it means that someone else will find a use for it. Its a waste of my time to organize and promote a garage sale, sit in front of my garage all afternoon and try and sell something for a measly dollar - my time is worth more than that. This way, interested members will come pick it up at your door and it won't be going to waste!

You can even request free stuff within the community as well - who knows! Maybe someone has that Dremel you've been wanting for so long and they don't know what it is or how to use it! You never know what treasures you might find. Stuffed toys, electronics, furniture, I just saw a posting for a newly opened bag of chips that they didn't like the flavour of!!! I don't know about THAT one.. but who knows! Someone might want it, hahaha! I think I might be getting some bubble wrap/mailing envelopes that someone just posted =)

Its a great way to get rid of yet again - more clutter from your home and the site estimates that it is "keeping more than 300 tons of stuff out of landfills" EVERY day!

Speaking of...I have a ton of fashion magazines that hopefully will have someone else's name on them soon! Doctor's offices could always use some more waiting room reading material!
