How many times have we been told, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." A million times. Yet Freecycle demonstrates that there is in fact a free lunch and much more. Freecycle was started as a local effort to help reduce the amount of garbage we were placing in our landfills by providing a central place for individuals to offer items they no longer need for free as long as the person who wanted it would pick it up. It spread around the world like wildfire. There are now millions of users and every day thousands of items are being exchanged - and not just junk either.

    I created a separate site that isn't very utilized but I feel offers better features called BetterNeighbours, but unless it receives more activity, Freecycle is still the place to go.
