What is Freecycle?
The Freecycle Network is a global community of over 8 million members across 4,915 local groups. This nonprofit initiative enables people to freely give and receive items within their own neighborhoods, promoting reuse and diverting usable goods from landfills. The network is entirely volunteer-run, with local moderators overseeing the exchange of a wide variety of household items, electronics, furniture, and more. Signing up for membership is free, and users can easily find their local Freecycle group by searching or browsing the available communities
