    An Online Flea Market Where Everything's Free

    An unwanted mattress led Deron Beal to create an online phenomenon that pairs givers with receivers, builds community and helps save the environment. Now that’s a big idea.

    Need some "magic" Harry Potter rings, a used axe, a wooden desk, an electric wok, two rolls of 35mm film? How about some props from the "X Files" TV show? Been looking for empty toilet paper rolls? Here's someone who has 20, "great for crafts," says the ad.

    Since Deron Beal started Freecycle in 2003, the network has grown to 4,000 local groups in 75 countries.

    Whether you see these things as trash or treasure, the good news is you can have them for nothing more than the time it takes to send an email — but first you have to join Freecycle.

    Freecycle is a website that helps connect people in their own neighborhoods with folks who want stuff and folks who want to give stuff away. And that simple concept has had some surprising side effects, like strengthening community relationships while reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills.
