I Support Freecycle

On May 1st, 2003, Deron Beal sent out the first e-mail announcing The Freecycle Network™ to about 30 or 40 friends and a handful of nonprofits in Tucson, Arizona. At the time Deron founded The Freecycle Network, he worked with a...

Freecycle helped me moved a lot of items in a short span of time, saving me a lot of time and gas and plus it was great for my heart! I had a garage full of junk that my ex left behind and a house full of furniture that I wanted to...

I was soured by the process at first because I tried - literally - for years to sign up.  Each time I received a rejection email and couldn't figure out why.  Finally, when a good friend of mine told me she had started doing...

I first discovered Freecycle in Dallas, TX around 2007 - I was instantly amazed at the idea and starting using it all the time.  It was such a great way to get rid of stuff I didn't need anymore, but knew was too good to just end...

Those of us in Texas are suffering from high electric bills due to the new Smart Meters. About two weeks ago a lady had to post that because of her more than double electric bill her account was down to pennies and that she needed...

I've created a Freecycle group here, but believe it or not, nobody ever wanted to give away things. There's something with that place, it's just wrong. People rather throw away than give away.
In Montreal, I've furnished my entire...
