The Fulton Freecycle(TM)Network is open to all who want to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away. Whether it's a chair, a fax machine, a piano or an old door, feel free to post it. Or maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself, just post a "wanted" request. Nonprofit groups are encouraged to participate too!

One constraint: everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.
