Reduce, Reuse, FREE-CYCLE!

When we bought our home in December 2006, we were unaware of the "goodies" that were hiding under the snow. One little treasure was the pick-up topper seen here. It was in really good condition, but it would not fit our truck so we offered it up on http://www.freecycle.org. We had it in our yard for a year and a half, trying to sell/give it away that entire time. Finally a new member on Freecycle came to claim it, fitting his truck beautifully. (This is also how we also got rid of our dryer.) Freecycle is a website in which you can offer your stuff to others to keep it from being thrown into the landfills (but it has to be free, no money exchange). All you have to do is go to the website, put in your town & state, and you can receive daily emails of free stuff in your area. It doesn't have to be big stuff either. Many times there are books, movies, exercise equipment, and animals put on there. You can also put "wanted" items in there as well. I highly recommend this in order to keep items out of our landfills and clean up the environment for the next generation.
