Sometimes I can be a little slow to catch on to the obvious. To catch on that selling unwanted items doesn’t feel as good as giving them to folks who want them. To catch on that it is WAY easier for folks to come to me to carry off stuff versus me having to schelp it somewhere else.
I”ve been a Craig’s list fan for ages…but just hadn’t discovered Freecycle. Do you use it? Freecycle describes itself as “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.”
Since we’re moving, we’re trying to reduce the amount of stuff to move to our new house. I’ve placed 3 things on the Wichita freecycle list tonight….3 are spoken for already. One was picked up in less than 2 hours after I listed it. Awesome. And I’ve not even dented the amount of stuff I’d like to find new homes before the packers arrive.
If you haven’t checked Freecycle out yet… do. It’ll make you feel good. I did.
