misc/freecycle Someone’s trash is another’s treasure – and with Freecycle the treasure is made to order. Simply post your request on the Freecycle message board for your area, and if someone has the item and wants to part with it, they will reply. If you want to add to someone else’s trove, you can post items you want to pass on. If you’re into sharing the wealth, you can even post “curb alerts” – slang for “trash picking opportunity”.
