Freecycling Rocks!
As I was cleaning out my basement yesterday (yawn, I know) I found a few things that I no longer wanted in my life. Usually with clothes, I donate them to either Goodwill or Salvation Army. But with those random household items, or with things that Goodwill or Salvation Army won't take (like old window sashes, moving boxes, half used rolls of wrapping paper, extra cucumbers from my garden (no, seriously, we've been taken over by cucumbers), yard rocks that you want out of the way of your lawnmower but don't want to use in your landscaping plan, you get the idea) the best way to keep them out of the landfill is Freecycle.
Like the name implies, it's free, it's recycling, and it's local. In the past 3 months, I've given away several items (including a used George Foreman Grill and a wine bottle holder) and I've received some really random stuff (like window sashes from an old building, those will make very nice cold frames for my garden, and an old wooden bowl that is now sitting on my kitchen table holding fresh fruit). In our area, there are two Yahoo groups that have been set up. One is Freecycle Frederick County, VA and the other is Shenandoah Valley North- Freerecylce. If you've got some clutter to clear, or if you have need of something that you think others might have, check out these two groups.
