Freecycling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freecycling, also known as Free Recycling, is the act of giving away usable but unneeded items to others instead of disposing of them in a landfill. This term is most often associated with online groups who run mailing lists which offer items to members at no cost.
The Freecycle Network claims the term freecycling to be a violation of their trademark rights (despite having used it generically in the past themselves [1]. There is ongoing litigation on this point, unsettled as of December, 2006.
