Freecycling is nifty.

29 April, 2006 in Normal by Justin | No comments

So, I was doing some more reading over at Recommended last night, and I noticed the topbar, and a series of links there.

One of the link icons was a bit illegible for me (curse these olde eyes, lah), but it lead to a place called ‘[tag]freecycle[/tag].org’.

Now, the name initially made me think, “Hm, are they operating some sort of bicycle pool, or even giving away bicycles? What’s the catch?”
So, of course, being one of those fools into getting things for free, I checked out the link.
Although it wasn’t what I initially thought of it, it’s just as good.
People all over the world have developed groups where they can leave things up for people to pick up if they are looking for it, while asking others for things they could actually use. All this activity rescues things from heading to the landfill, and essentially encourages [tag]recycling[/tag] at a very useful level.

This is something I, too, can honestly recommend.

Freecycle.org. Check it out. :)
