Want things for free?

I have been a member of Freecycle. My family has enjoyed a few items previously loved by other people, and we have given away things that still have plenty of use in them.

Concept of Freecycling

It's actually simple -- you post items that you want to give away or want to have. It's not a first-respondent-first-keeper set up. The owners can choose whom to give the items to. Meron din kasing ibang mga members na hoarders din. I've given 2 things to one person and I did that kasi she owns a daycare center. Anything for kids, go ako! :) 
 

We have given away toys, clothes, random things that were no longer of use to us. I'm actually disappointed to find out that greater Manila has no group registered on Freecycle pero meron ang Cebu and other major cities in the Philippines.


Anybody keen to start that group?
