Decluttering? Don't Toss it, Freecycle it!
By KeterAs you declutter your life, you may encounter several typical barriers to parting with items, such as:
- When items with sentimental value have been identified as unneeded and in the way
- When thrift stores won't accept items that are too nice to throw away
- When it just isn't practical to hold a garage sale due to legal or time constraints
- When throwing away items seems horribly wasteful
If only there was an easy, ecologically friendly way to recycle your clutter! There is: FREEcycling!
With Freecycling:
- Your get to choose who receives your items with sentimental value, and you can meet the recipients or not, as you choose
- Items needing repair or refurbishment can find their way to people who want to fix them up to use
- You control the schedule: give away items singly or in batches as you have time
- Items go to people who can use them, not to the landfill
Freecycle is a nonprofit, volunteer-operated organization with local groups throughout the United States and all over the world! Membership is, of course, FREE! For more information on Freecycling and to locate a group near you, see the Freecycle Web site: http://www.freecycle.org.
