ReUseIt—don't throw it out!
I recently came upon a terrific way to get rid of household items we no longer need while helping our neighbors almost instantaneously. And no, it doesn't involve any money.
Memphis/Shelby County has a chapter of ReUseIt, a Yahoo Internet group that allows members to post offers to donate their used clothes, furniture, appliances and other items to fellow group members who may be in need of those things—keeping perfectly usable items out of the landfill while filling a need right in your backyard.
The great thing about ReUseIt is, everyone can benefit. Members can give and receive at will. The postings must be free, legal and family friendly, and the postings are monitored.
