The concept is simple: you have something you no longer need (a couch, crib, etc.) and you wish to "recycle" it rather than throw it away. Or you're looking for a specific item, and you'd love getting it for free. Ithaca Freecycle (TM) is the place you can post notices about items you'd like to give away and find things that you need. The only requirement is that the transfer of an item from one person to another has to be FREE.

Through Ithaca Freecycle, we can help the environment by diverting useful items from landfills while also helping members of our local community. Everybody has something they want to get rid of, so instead of dragging it out to the curb and filling the landfills, wouldn't it be better to connect to someone who probably wants what you have? All individuals and charitable organizations in the region are welcome to participate. Our main geographic focus is Ithaca, New York and surrounding towns.
