Trash to Treasure: Looking for free stuff? Have stuff you no longer need?

Freecycling is giving away old junk you no longer want to someone who can use it -- think recycling with a free reuse twist. Reduce, reuse, freecycle! Reuse stuff and reduce landfill congestion.

Freecycling online groups harness the power of the Internet to connect people who have stuff with others nearby who want it.

This group serves Sunnyvale, California and those nearby.

How it works:

1. Join this group and/or one you can find via OverCycle, ReUseIt, or Googling "freecycle [name of your town]".
2. Post OFFER (or WANTED) using this as a prefix in the subject line.
3. Get replies.
4. Arrange exchange with just one (your choice).
5. Offerer (Wanter) posts TAKEN (RECEIVED) when exchange is complete.
6. For details see Freecycling Instructions

Everything posted must be free, legal, and tangible. No trading and no services. After you join you'll receive an e-mail with further instructions.
