eh well that did it for me. The local mom and pop computer store fixes old monitors and sells them for like ten bucks. I took them over there and gave them to them. The city wanted $15 each to recycle them. On 2/22/08, Loathe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I wouldn't expect to find that many compute

that is absolutely what I get out of it. Someone takes it away and I do not have to take it to the dump. However, I also prefer to give that semi-ok bike to someone who will fix it as opposed to having it clutter up the landfill. Like I say, when it works it is win-win. However, it is perhaps more

Yeah, that's the kind of stupid stuff I was dealing with as well. I was finally like "this is stupid, and not worth the hassle." now if i have something that i want to give away, I just set it out by the curb...in a few days, it's always gone. Just like freecycle, but without all the mess :) On F

If there is an offer on a dresser or a bicycle doesn't that kind of say that you will not be able to transport this on the bus?? I mean -- I offered five bikes, all of which needed some work. The first three people I talked to about them messed around and eventually said (a couple of days late

The freecycle here is ghetto as hell. People giving away and taking open food items, nasty stuff like used nursing pads. They are good about saying if you will need a truck or if an item is large. Someone just posted a wanted item for an x-box 360, come on. Yeah, her husband is just getting h
