Freecycle - Why It's a Great Site for Home Buyers and Sellers

We all know how much "stuff" can be accumulated in our homes. In fact, we are very aware of it whenever we have to move. Yet, once we move to our new location, we always find ourselves in "need" of more stuff that will fit with our new home.

This is where Freecycle come in handy. The Freecycle Network™ (click here to visit the site) is, according to the site, "made up of 4,836 groups with 6,647,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills."

It is free to join and once you become a member you search for your community and then look to see what you can find or start to get rid of stuff.

Green your move by keeping your old stuff out of landfills, helping someone else who is in need of your old stuff and in the meantime find some new stuff for your new place!

Now everyone is happy!
