That one website that finds free stuff people near you are giving away

Why it's the pick

Freecycle is a nonprofit network of 5,000+ local groups where people post things they're giving away, from furniture to baby gear, and neighbors can ask for them. Free, but you need an account to post or reply. Trash Nothing is a friendlier app for the same groups, and Buy Nothing runs neighborhood gift groups.
