    "2Good2Toss." I believe it's a nationwide site, kind of like Freecycle, broken down into areas or counties. Instead of everything being free, though, you buy/sell items up to $99.00. I like it because if I'm looking for a particular item (like the dishwasher and food dehydrator I found there), I'm way more comfortable offering to purchase it, instead of posting a "want" (free) on Freecycle.

    I like Freecycle and I appreciate the purpose of it, but I get tired of what some people expect to get for free.

    When I was told about this site, I googled "2Good2Toss" and found it, although the official title for the one in my area is "Lewis County Reusable Materials Exchange."

    They do have "free" listings, too.

    Ideal Bite is a truly entertaining site! I signed up for a daily notice of recycling.

    Thank you for sharing!

    I use Freecycle a lot for both give and takes.
