Freecycle

Just wanted to plug this - it's kind of a barter/exchange via web. It works by using a Yahoo group. Here's the website.

You get messages about offers or wanted items in your area - the Worcester one is pretty active - maybe 50 messages a day easily. Here's the pointer to the Worcester freecycle group with instructions.

You need a Yahoo mail account, which is easy and free to setup. It can be addictive though! Don't end up with a bunch of stuff you don't need now! ;)
