Re/Freecycle?

Is there such a thing as an internet freecycle site in the USA?
I have joined three freecycle groups all where I live just slightly different areas they are brilliant places.
It works by anyone taking anything to the dump can place it on the site for free all they need to put is its location and a rough description, If you need any item you email the person offering it and if its still available you go and get it.
This saves the landfill and the person getting rid of the item/s saves a trip to the dump and you get what it is you were after.
Its taking off big time over here saves a lot of time and a lot of waste.

"Freecycle" sounds like a good idea-and what a way to get appliances and such for your collection---FREE.Haven't heard of it until now.Maybe this could be put in the papers,want add magazines for folks that don't have computers.there was a dump station in Virginia-at the Prinnce William County landfill-called the "Too Good To Waste Place"folks would place furniture,clothes,appliances,there for people going to that dump to look over.If they want it--they could take it.If the items were unclaimed-they went to the fill.Of the times I went to that dump--no Hi-Fis.Mostly fridges and furniture.remember one woman hugging a fridge she wanted-"ITS MINE!!"until hubby could drive over in the truck to load it.

Thats a good idea too...

Having somewhere to take/collect items no longer needed by others, The problem here is lots of people have things to "gift" but no means to transport it hence "freecycle" is so useful to them as all they need is either their own pc or someone elses or the local library and once a member can off load all sorts, to date I have given tables chairs and 2 double glazed doors also collected vacuum cleaners and broken washers which get repaired or gifted on, I was also lucky when asking for a bath to be given a hardly used corner bath in white just what I was after
If you want anything you put an ad and hope its succesfull.
