this is very cool - the below is a post copied from the EAV discussion boards:

"Freecycle -

I just discovered this website and wanted to post for anyone who might be interested in "recycling" old/used items

Click HERE

It is intended for folks inside 285 who have things they want to get rid
of. Everything is offered for free - because as they say "one man's
trash is another man's treasure". The actual purpose of the whole
freecycle.org community (which exists all over the country) was to try
to find alternate uses for items that would otherwise end up in trash
piles, dumps, etc contributing to the already existant environmental
issues we are currently facing. I found the website listed in a new
book called "World Changing; A User's Guide for the 21st Century" and
definitely thought it was worth passing along. It is a yahoo group so
you have to join (w/yahoo name and password - takes two seconds)

So, go check it out..."
