Recycling

Freecycle (www.freecycle.org) is a place to pass along no longer needed items and possibly find something you need - better passed along than in a landfill. A LaserJet III probably won't be your first choice for a business proposal or resume, but it's OK for a draft copy of anything or printing a program listing. It's a great deal if it's free and toner cartridges are still plentiful and cheap.

Craig's List (www.craigslist.org) has free, for sale, and wanted sections. You can find lawn and garden, furniture, computers, entertainment gear, kids' stuff and lots more. That 18 year old truck was sold via Craig's list and I had cash-in-hand in 24 hours from the time the ad was posted - there's no charge to post or sell on Craig's List.
