Freecycle is a fine thing if you’re moving. It’s not just a good way to get rid of stuff that no way are you going to sell. (Plus, who has yard sale in Seattle in March?) It’s also a good way to get boxes. I can almost guarantee that someone in your neighborhood has just moved and empty boxes are piling up about the place. The newly moved and exhausted resident knows they ought to recycle those boxes, but they are too busy finding where the power cord to their speakers has gone or buying shelf paper or they’re unable to leave the apartment because for the life of them they can not find the key.
