Don’t Just Recycle – FREECYCLE! 

Have you discovered the Freecycle network yet?  It’s a great way to clear out the clutter, or you might find that  gadget you have been looking for is just taking up space at another networker’s home  -- and it’s free!  According to the main website (www.freecycle.org)  there are 4331 groups comprising 4,852,000 members worldwide. There is a group in Kerrville, one in Boerne, and one in Bandera.   

Freecycle is  “… 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. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer... Membership is free.”  The rules are simple: e.g.,  Keep it free, legal, and appropriate for all ages; no trading – offers must have no strings attached, etc.   Check it out:  it’s free, it’s fun, and it’s GREEN!
