i have joined freecycle in my area, i read the posts often and it seems to be going ok, small (3 or 4 adds a day, giving and requesting) but it is a great program. we are planning to finally clean out the garage next weekend and i'm sure i will have plenty to offer ;)
so far nothing i want has caught my eye...i'm trying to weed, not grow but sooner or later there is bound to be something i can't live without.
