And for stuff that you want to get rid of but you don't want to throw in the garbage:
Our mission is to encourage members to pass along still-usable, tangible items rather than throwing those items away. We work to alleviate pressure on our nation's landfills, cut back on wasteful consumerism and promote stewardship of our planet. Our rules are easy: Items must be FREE, Legal, and Appropriate for all ages
