The Freecycle Network
Got an item you just don’t want anymore? If someone else in Las Vegas, or in the country, could use it, post it on the Las Vegas Group of Freecycle.org and “recycle” your
item, giving it to someone who needs it rather than throwing it away. Think of it as an eBay with no cost.
From their official website: "The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,760 groups with 6,789,362 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely non-profit movement
of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns and thus keeping good stuff out of landfills. Membership is free, and everything posted must be
FREE, legal and appropriate for all ages. To view the items being given away or sought in Las Vegas, you must be a member of the local group."
