the pure rush of stumbling onto a box of free/discarded random micellanous items, clothes or books especially in affluent neighborhoods like fort green and park slope
the amount of practically new books and random things rich people get rid of is crazy
so much waste in the world!! interested in dumpster diving and freeganism if anyone has experience

I used Freecycle for the first time a few months ago when I was moving house and needed to pass on a few odd things. I didn’t expect it to open up a whole community to me, and to provide me with so much joy and entertainment. I’ve met lots of nice people on there. It’s also a reminder of how many people in London are really struggling and relying on free resources to get by. I recommend signing up to the daily digest of new things on offer in your area. I love to read through the post titles. Yesterday I opened the digest to find:Relief for aching muscles!

Lebanese-owned middle eastern grocery on Atlantic Ave. Hummus, labne, olives, warm pita, halvah, dates, whatever your heart desires. It’s a real gem.
