I agree!

Here in the states there is a nationwide movement called Freecycle. Basically if you have something that you no longer want or can use you offer it to the members of your community for free. Things get passed around from house to house and member to member all the time.

Re-use is the good choice but tell me that Is that material give you same quality? Because in my opine you purchase new material instead of re-use material.

Reusing is an amazing thing. Right here I know that I rarely reclyce water bottles becasue I just reuse them over and over again as I see no use in getting new ones as my tap is better then bottled.

Very good idea of giving to others your unwanted goods, however , you must be aware that is not that simply to pass it on stuff that you don't use anymore...you never know how the others will interpret your donation . That is why I consider the solution offered ,the one with the website advertising unwanted goods ,an excellent one ,since protects the dignity of the receiver .

Yes, me too agree that re-use the products is the best then recycling them. But all the waste product cannot be re-use it is applicable only for few products. But this idea is very good. I think clothes are the best products that can be re-use by others.
