The original link os good.

I've been on freecycle as a donor. I quit it in short order. I don't know what part of "available on weekends, between 8-5, you will have to load and haul" is not clear. Then there were the pleas for "free above ground pools, to be delivered and set up, for physical therapy for my 34 yr old son home on disability". Fuck freecycle, and fuck human nature- it's a broken experiment.

I have heard of independent minded individuals who found, drove their own truck, loaded and used old sliding glass door panels to construct greenhouses and the like. It could work but it would have to be closed to the general public, or charge for registration.
