I check my city page on www.freecycle.org every day. Whenever I clean out my house I donate things through freecycle. When I need 'new' items, i check freecycle. I'm addicted. Are you?

It goes is spurts -- Right now I am an "inactive" member. But I know that will change soon! \n\nI think the concept is great and am happy giving my unwanted items to someone who will actually use them (as opposed to dropping items off at a community rummage sale or Goodwill). \n\nI do find it a bit time-consuming. But when I'm actively posting, yes, it is addicting!

In my county in Maryland, we have recycling of glass, plastic, and mixed paper with weekly pickup at our houses. There seems to be widespread participation and it's much more convenient than lugging your bottles back to the store.

I was just wondering what more I could do this week.\n\nI recycle paper and plastics... buy reusable products instead of disposable versions.\n\nI would love to get an e-friendly car the next time around.\n\nI should lobby more.\n\nI also taught my students to THINK and care about the planet. That is probably my strongest contribution.

I haven't donated yet!  But yes, I am registered to donate, and my family is aware of my wishes.\nHope your question prompts others to check the box!

Oh boy do I volunteer!  Asst. Den leader for the Cub Scouts, Brownie Leader, PTO and special school projects, food drives, church, etc...  Volunteering keeps me going at full tilt.  Mostly I am in it for my children.  I am grateful that I am in the position to be able to do it, I work part-time and my husband is very low maintenance.

sure, why not?\n\ni could use a free dollar\n\noh yeah! you answered my power mac g4 question earlier.\nYou don't understand. I must've not explained correctly. I found the computer sitting near bags of garbage waiting to be taken out [to the city dump or whereever garbage in my city goes]. That kinda gave me the OK to take it.\n\nWith all of that said, what do you think NOW?

I'd approach local schools incase they have updated their resources material recently and have older books to get rid of. Or maybe try freecycle.org - you never know what people might have. Good luck and good on you x

They're pack rats. They don't throw anything away. Even trash sometimes. They get used to the surroundings. They can see it but it doesn't register as anything being wrong. It's a mental problem. I don't watch Oprah often. This one show caught my eye though. It was about a lady who lived very much like your stepmother. The dog was using the shower as a bathroom. So Oprah had her crew go in and totally redo the house. Everything was spotless. New carpet, new paint, the works. Well they went back a couple of months later. Sitting there on the kitchen counter was the pizza box from the crew that fixed her house. The woman was back at it again. It's hard to understand I know. Your stepmom knows something's wrong but can't fix it on her own. Maybe you should volunteer to help clean the place up. It's a big job I know but someone has to help her because she can't help herself. Calling the health department would be embarrassing. I've seen homes like that on the news. They go in with shovels to clean it out. All the neighbors will know. Rent a dumpster.

I recommend Uncle binky's free stuff newsletter. He sends out a newsletter whenever he finds something for free. Everytime I sign up to get whatever is in that newsletter I get it about 90% of the time. Thats a good percentage for actually receiving free stuff. Better then alot of other free stuff I've tried. http://www.linkydinky.com/binky/

I think it's a very good site. I've found a few things on it, even under the free site...there's a lot of people out there that aren't worried about getting money for items and don't want to go through the hassle of having a garage sale....plus others put stuff on because it's free to advertise.\nCheck it out....I give it a thumb up!\nBut the items go fast....so hurry!\n\nSmileyCat : )
