Title: Styrofoam Coolers
Post by: sfc_oliver on April 22, 2013, 12:30:32 PM
I have about a half dozen of these small coolers and many of the freezer bags to go into them. I contacted 2nd harvest and several other places they say they can't use them. Hate to break them up and toss them for a landfill....

Youngstown FreeCycle is a good place to give away items.
groups.freecycle.org/YoungstownOH/posts/all (http://groups.freecycle.org/YoungstownOH/posts/all)

It's also a good place to request items.

I was a member of this group when they were on yahoo groups. That's where i gave away the last batch i had. I've met some good people and some really strange people through them.....

I've given away many items on FreeCycle over the last three years.  Recently it seems as though most people on Freecycle are asking for something.  Perhaps it's just a sign of the times.

Over the years i've given out at least 10 times what I've taken, and i have never posted a wanted post....

BTW I got back in and have one response so far.
