Freecycle - an online
"swap shop". Recycle your usable unwanted items through
a local email network. If you want to find a new home for
something -- whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door
-- you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of your Freecycle
group. If you're looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond
to a member's offer, and you just might get it.
