What is Freecycling?
Local freecyclers post offers for things they don't want anymore, offering them for free to neighbors who can use them. Arrangements are then made privately for the goods to be moved to their new home, usually when the recipient picks them up at a pre-arranged time and place. It's an environmentally and socially sound alternative to sending usable items to the landfills.
"The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,524 groups with 5,348,000 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. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free."
If you don't live in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, you can still freecycle! Visit www.freecycle.org to find your local freecycle group.
