FreeCycle.Org

Have you heard of this? I recently found out about this service, and I was a bit blown away by what was offered. Someone gave away an air filtering system in perfect condition. My friends use this service, and they’ve managed to retrieve table saws and other construction equipment. I didn’t pick up the air filter, but I’m sure some lucky person was very happy they didn’t have to buy one.
What a great sustainable practice. What you don’t want, somebody else will. Here’s the info from there site…
