freecycle.org looks like a great idea, Croc. I will check out the one here locally.

Croc, I do volunteer work at a local recycling program that for years has operated a "re-use" shop with great success. Funds generated by the shop are reinvested in green building and other energy conservation type programs. Re-use shop collects furniture, books, sports equipment, electronics.... quality goods that are gratefully reused by college students and others (including me). Not only does a reuse program reduce landfill requirements; it extends product life-cycle signifacantly, positively impacting a number of environmental issues from toxins to raw material mining. We are now considering entering the de-construction business. Anyone have any experience with de-construction programs?
