Do you freecycle?
Freecycling is something that has become more and more popular. The premise is basic… you list things you are willing to give away, the only requirement is the person who wants it has to meet you when it is convenient for you to do so. You can generally find anything from sofas to furniture to household appliances (both large and small). It is kind of like a mini eBay garage sale, but for free.
First, go to FreeCycle.org and search for your city. There you will get the listing for your local Freecycle, which will give you access to the rules/regulations for your city. Last I checked there were over 4,000 groups, meaning there is probably a group somewhere in your neck of the woods, and they even include countries such as France, Canada and the UK.
If you aren’t comfortable with having people to your house or apartment, meeting in parking lots of local fast food restaurants or big box style stores are commonplace too.
And as a bonus, it is GREAT for decluttering!
