I have freecycled for years and love it! I recommend it to everyone I can. What a great and easy way to reuse items and you would be surprised at what you can keep out of your trash can. Just about everything is useful to someone! Egg cartons and planting containers are especially wanted around here. I have also offered volunteer trees from my yard and gotten lots of plants from others. Furniture, clothing, books, coupons, animals, knick knacks, you name it - you will see it. I have never gotten anything other than the freecycle posts. When my son lived in LA, he practically furnished his apartment from freecycle - some of the items were in such great shape I kept them when he moved back! Great site.
