This is such a brilliant concept, and it works so well too. Find your local Freecycle group, sign up, and you can give away any unwanted stuff to someone who does want it, and will come and pick it up from you.
Or, if you are after something, read the list daily to see if anyone is offering one in your area, or put a WANTED post to your group to see if anyone has one to give you. I did just that yesterday, I want a tractor tyre, and lo and behold, I'm going to fetch one from a local smallholder tomorrow morning.
It's so clever and so green. Yippee!

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
Although, it now looks like freecycle is losing its' way somewhat, getting bogged down in trademarks and litigation instead:
