Use Freecycle to Get Rid of “Stuff”
Part of organizing is getting rid of “stuff” you don’t need. You’re either hanging onto it for possible future use. Or you don’t know where to dump it. Often it’s perfectly good, or at least has usefulness to someone else when you no longer need it.

A yard sale is one possibility. But you may not have the time nor facilities for organizing one. You may be restricted by zoning where you live to hold a yard sale.
What do yo do? Explore the possibilities with Freecycle.
Here people give away, for free, items they no longer need. Those who join the Freecycle group in their area, all operated by e-mail, also can ask for items they’re looking for.
If you go to the main Freecycle web site, follow links to one in your area. There you can sign up on the Freecycle group.
I haven’t used it yet to get rid of household or office type items. But I did list three used tires my husband doesn’t need. (It costs $5 each to recycle them at our local town recycling facility.)
By using Freecycle, you’re doing your part in helping the environment by recycling, helping others who need items you no longer use, and clearing the clutter in your home, office, and garage.
