I am on the emailing list for Freecycle and this is their latest email. If you are in the New York City area and are doing some spring cleaning . . .
Spring Cleaning? Don't Throw It Away—-Bring it to the
Freecycle™ NYC FreeMeet!
Freecycle New York City celebrates spring and reaching 40,000+ members with TWO FreeMeets:
Saturday, April 18, 2009, 12pm-3pm
JJ Byrne Park (dead end on 4th Street b/t 5th Ave and the Old Stone House in the park)
Park Slope, Brooklyn
Saturday, May 9, 2009, 12pm-3pm
P.S. 217 Playground (1100 Newkirk Avenue at Coney Island Avenue)
Flatbush, Brooklyn
WHY: New Yorkers discard some 12,000 tons of waste each day, much of which is exported to landfills and incinerators in other states. Here's your chance to help reduce waste and keep our environment clean by finding new homes for your old stuff, and getting some things you can use in the process. Leftovers will be donated or
recycled to every extent possible.
WHAT TO BRING: Bring unwanted clothing, housewares and other reusable items* to share or simply bring a tote bag to fill. Bring friends and family too!
Got wire hangers? Bring 'em to the FreeMeet so we can hang clothes and
recycle the hangers afterwards.

*please bring portable items only and log on to www.Freecycle. org to give away furniture and other heavy stuff.
I have donated stuff to a FreeMeet before then spent some time looking around and ended up with a bag of books. Take a look, bring some items or come and take some. So now what are you gonna do?
