Freecycle

By weeklyvolcano on April 8, 2006

Freecycle is an online win-win situation. People who have stuff they want out of their lives post their goods online, then people who are looking for free stuff can search through tons of listings to make their life complete. It's like a giant free box of stuff.  All this occurs in cyberspace, but this weekend at the Puyallup Fairgrounds, Freecycle steps into the real world at the Pierce County Livable Communities Fair Saturday, April 8, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Freecycle's goal is to save items from reaching the landfill while creating community. Fair organizers estimate 15,000-20,000 people will attend this environment friendly and knowledge-increasing event. Plus, Ciscoe Morris, the madcap master gardener, will be broadcasting live on KIRO 710, which is sure to add more fun and hilarious mirth. Admission and parking is free, but do the right thing and bring a canned food item for the Rescue Mission. The Freecycle booth will be located on the first floor of the Pavilion and manned by area volunteers. Enter the Gold Gate entrance at Ninth Avenue S.W. and Meridian, Puyallup. - Jennifer Johnson
