Sometime in the past few months I came in contact with a website with state and county breakdowns of 'free junk from my house to you.' People go there and state what they want to get rid of. You can have it if you come and pick it up. Do you have any idea of the web address I'm speaking of? I lost the address. Thanx for any help.
If you join, you have to give away an item before you can ask for one, but it says that on the website.
I love it!!! Its been a great way to get rid of stuff!!!
http://www.Freecycle.org is a truly wonderful site. I've given away a myriad of clutter, and have gotten bricks for my garden, lovely clothes, houseplants, and made two wonderful local friends in the bargain : )
There's also www.craigslist.org/
I've gone on there and found useful things, and gotten rid of things I don't want any more. You can also put up ads to sell things of value, cars and such.
My fav is WantedWants.com
I was searching for the free junk sites when I happened upon the Junkforyou site and the only choice for States were NJ and NY. That wasn't going to help me in Florida. Looking further; I found Listia.com. This is a site that will give you sign-up credits to get started bidding with.
http://trashnothing.com
craigslist.com
If you are a member of Facebook, there are a couple of places that are good for getting rid of stuff or getting it for free or cheap. One is Facebook Marketplace, which usually used for buying and selling among members.
The other is the Buy Nothing Group. These are set up in small local area, usually with a neighborhood boundary. Everything is given away for free, no money or barters allowed. I have gotten so many things for my home and have also cleared out my excess stuff. It's much more rewarding to give something to a neighbor rather than donating to the Goodwill or something like that.
You must be looking for http://www.freecycle.org There are local groups here and its a yahoo group. I give and get stuff all the time.
Probably what you're looking for is http://www.freecycle.org
Wow! I'm glad I subscribe to the newsletters! I just signed up now to start my own local group (since they didn't have one in my area)!
Freecycle is great for that, and if you search other Yahoo groups you might find more groups like that in your area.
craigslist is what your looking for I believe
I'm leary of craigslist.org. Be sure of who you are dealing
before you go. I heard of somthing bad that happened to
a person after dealing with somone on there. Think twice
I think you're looking for www.freecycle.org.
You should try the Freecycle Network. Google it, and then you can check the for your state. After you pick your state, pick the city that you live in. You have to apply for acceptance to get in, but its not hard. Make sure you read the rules and regs. They aren't too hard to follow and pay attention to how you give stuff away and accept stuff. I am hooked. I love it and am a part of 4 different city freecycle groups.
Actually for being such a craigslist nut I am starting to really love www.wantedwants.com. No spam and much easier to view all listings.
You are probably talking about Freecycle and Craigslist.
