I love freecycle. Used it a lot in California, especially before I moved. There, there is little asking for things but lots and lots of giving. I got a lot of my moving supplies from freecycle (think that alone saved me a couple of hundred dollars), got rid of a lot stuff that were truly appreciated by those who got them.

Here, I got the bike (not quite as advertised but I'll see if I can fix it) and a phone charger for Jess's phone. I've already given away a bit of clothes to the Ocala freecyle group (didn't know there was Lady Lake one at first).

So, I'm with HB -- use it if you can. It really is a great way to help others and keep things out of landfill. There are many here who are truly in need. Freecycle is one way to help them.
