STUFF OFFERED ON SITES BELOW MUST BE FREE - they are Yahoo groups which you must join - we have good luck with these sites as well as Craigslist in distributing materials that we needed to move out quickly. List your stuff and make individual arrangements. Sometimes people don't show. There are many local groups. We recommend joining as many as you can if permitted. It doesn't take long. If you do this, we suggest creating a separate listing in a file that you can copy into eachgroup. Its saves alot of time. Also, be as specific as you can. Supply a picture if possible. Every group has a moderator. You will need to be approved before you can list. Some are easier than others

Hudson Valley Ecycle and other offshoots of Freecycle - quite frankly we like these folks better than Freecycle (link below) - they are easier to work with, more welcoming and are less dogmatic. Feel free to call us for details - Freesharing.org/
