Story
County Freecyle is a Yahoo Internet group where visitors can find
free items and registered users can post items they want to offer free
of charge. |
|
The focus of Story County Freecycle is to cover the
communities in and around Story County, and anyone else in Central Iowa
who wishes to travel to pick up the treasures. The goal of the group is
to reduce waste by connecting people who are throwing away unwanted
items with others seeking the same items (and have a little fun in the
process). No item is too big or too small; but since it is a FREEcycle
list, ALL items must be 100% (that's right, you got it) free. |
