I had heard of freecycle before but this is a timely reminder! Thanks. We have been doing better at our usual for pitching stuff recently, too. Our favorite depository is Goodwill.

We had very successful garage sales in the (way) past, but now consider them too much work, too. Hubby sells on e-bay – enjoying the bit of income as much as the process.

Also, here, if you leave something by the curb, it is more than likely to picked-up, and quickly. Like the bathroom medicine cabinet we recently replaced – gone in less than an hour.

We are having new flooring soon, and that is a true prompt to dump stuff. Does anyone need several hundred square feet of oak parquet flooring?
(just kidding)

I just love Freecycle. I hate throwing things away and adding to the landfill.

That sounds like just my kind of thing. What a bonus in bumping into someone else in a similar boat.

I have been doing a little hucking out myself here. I have a stack of shoe box sized containers that have all our therapy stuff in so that I can pull out ‘sensory’ or ‘oral’ without having to dig around for the bits and bobs. Maybe it’s time to pass them on to someone else.

Thanks for the tip.
Cheers
