A lot of areas have more than one Freecycle group. If you can’t get rid of your treasures within a week or two, post them to another group(s) … that almost always works for me.

Keep on Freecycling.

Three separate families asked for firewood from a tree-trimming project – none showed up. I received a nasty leter from the city while waiting, and had to pay someone to take the wood away. Another time I offered an adult trike in pretty good shape, which is still in the garage. I’m amazed at the little items people put on there, things like used cosmetics that I’d be ashamed to offer anyone even as a gift. But I’ve had great luck with a big box of stuff and a FREE sign on the telephone pole by the street (we have no sidewalks.)

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 22:56:51 +0000 http://www.donnafreedman.com/?p=231#comment-623 I like the idea of Freecycle, and do use it when I have things to give away. It can be a heck of a time getting people to show up when they say they will, or to respond to emails. Plus some people who use the listserv obviously have no clue about netiquette. Drives me nuts! But yeah, I still use it to get rid of things. I try to not pay attention to the “OFFERS”.
