Re: Earth Day - Freecycle

**"* <d*@comcast.net>**

Generally, yes. Once in a while, if an object is lightweight, the offerer 
might drop them in the mail. I got a ticket to the zoo that way.

We encourage members to post in a format that includes their major 
intersection, so that a person who might want the item knows how far they'd 
have to travel. For example, one of my recent posts was Offer: Legal Sized 
Paper - McFarland 400 area.

Someone who's going past my intersection on their way to the office can 
readily stop by, while someone who lived on the other side of town wouldn't 
find it worth the gas to drive that far for 3 packs of paper. On the other 
hand, when I got rid of my chest freezer, I had people answering from about 
20 miles away.

It's a great way to declutter, and keeps tons of stuff from ending up in the 
landfill.
