I had never heard of the website. But of course had to go check it out. Couldnt find one for my area, but joined the one that was closest. Thanks. I had never heard of the website.

Otherwise it's just too much! Or I just unsubscribe and go look at postings on the site. It can be overwhelming. :) I do want to point out that Freecycle isn't really about need, or saving money. If I have something lying around that I'm not using, I'd much rather just give it to someone who can use it than toss it in a landfill. Need doesn't really factor in for me. Plus, puppies are just about free to be had from shelters (I've gotten all my pets from shelters, as have most people I know) so I'm not sure it's fair to judge there. I agree that some of the requests are just plain over the top though! I have to subscribe in digest format, Jen. Otherwise it’s just too much!

They were too irritating for me to continue reading... The one that put me over the top was someone who asked for items for a new puppy. I'm sorry, but if someone has enough money to get a puppy, they have no right asking for people to donate a collar, bed, or toys.

All I got in the past two days were bread, bags of used clothes and miscellany, and a changing table. Blah. Okay, North Carolina apparently isn’t the place to subscribe to Freecycle.

So, it's a bonus for us...we get moved for free (including all the packing materials) then we can sell it for a little extra! And I'm going to join our local freecycle again...just for the laughs!
