Don't throw it away! When you are cleaning that garage, basement or closet during your spring cleaning, please don't throw your discarded items into the trash bin. Of course, places such as the Goodwill or Salvation Army will take them, but if you aren't close to a location or just would prefer to stay at home, there are options! FreeCycle is a great reuse site organized by community - simply log on, create an account and post items you want to get rid of (or items you might need). It's so easy! One person's trash is really another person's treasure. Many FreeCyclers create quilts and blankets from discarded clothing, fix appliances and lawn mowers using parts from old items, and find materials for craft, landscaping and home improvement projects on this site - all for free! And, this keeps many, many usable treasures out of the landfill. FreeCycle has become so popular - there are sites devoted to showcasing your found FreeCycle Treasures! Happy Earth Day!
