Similar to NYC WasteMatch with one major difference (see if you can spot it):

 We are an innovative project that harnesses the power of e-mail to connect people with things they want to throw away with others who can use those things.

Yahoo: NYCFreecycle Group, National: FreeCycle.org

Stuff already FreeCycled:

  • Old Computer
  • Old Monitor

More tech stuff at the curb to follow.
