Freecycle...

Most cities across the nation have implemented some sort of method in order to promote recycling. I'm a big fan but there is so much more to recycling then just old soda pop cans and peanut butter jars.

While browsing MSNBC I came across an article listing "7 items you didn't know you could recycle."
These items include: 1. Athletic Shoes 2. "Techno-Trash"-VHS tapes, game cartridges, digital cameras, MP3 players, cords, cables, cassettes — not to mention bigger items like VCRs and computer monitors. 3. Computers 4. Matresses 5. Handheld devices-old cell phones, pagers and PDAs 6. Dry-cleaning hangers and plastic 7. Soiled glass and plastic.

The great thing about most of these objects is that you can bring them to many local stores. Drop your handheld devices off at any Staples store. Dell will recycle any Dell product for free, and if you buy a new Dell, they’ll recycle any other brand of computer for free. Hewlett-Packard, Gateway, Apple and Toshiba also have recycling programs — check their Web sites for details.

Lastly, everything else you can give away for free. Think how many people could benefit from the items thrown away daily just because we're sick of them or because we bought something better newer. If it's still usable, donate it on Craigslist (post the item for free) or go to The Freecycle Network and share your items with the world.
I love their mission statement:
"Our mission is to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources & eases the burden on our landfills while enabling our members to benefit from the strength of a larger community."
Can't go wrong there!
