Free stuff success!

All the stuff found new homes within hours. Amazing! Thanks to everyone who responded. It feels so great to see things find new life and be reused. It may take a little more time and effort to find new homes for your stuff than to shove it in the trash and let someone else take it to the dump, but it's a win win win all around.

I'm a huge fan of Freecycle for matching old items with new owners. You can post things you want to give away or post asking for things you're looking for. Everything is free and legal, of course. I've given away a year's worth of National Geographic magazines to teachers / parents with young kids, cell phone chargers for cell phones I no longer use, and extra 3 ring binders taking up space in my office. I've received house plants and veggie starts. Check to see whether there's a group in your area: http://www.freecycle.org/
