Freecycle turns trash to treasure By VICKI SMITH, Associated Press Writer
Sat Dec 29, 12:57 PM ET
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - When Laura Gernell heard about a place where people
gave away perfectly good things to strangers - no money changing hands, no
questions asked - she figured it was too good to be true.
But husband Ronald had lost his job as a truck driver and she was
temporarily unemployed, at home in a rented, unfurnished apartment with her
infant son. With nothing to lose, she joined The Freecycle Network, a
Web-based community swap program, and asked if anyone had a sofa to spare.
"I wasn't looking to furnish my whole apartment," says the 32-year-old mom
from Marmet, just south of Charleston. "I was just looking for the basics,
just something to sit on."
Three people e-mailed with offers, and Gernell used the sofa from that day
in 2004 until last summer, when the springs broke. Today she runs West
Virginia's largest Freecycle group, 2,100 members strong and part of a
far-flung forum where people can find homes for things they no longer want.
"It just has completely floored me, the generosity of people," says
Gernell. "Especially in West Virginia because West Virginia is considered
one of the poorest states in the nation. But people are very generous. It's
amazing."
Freecycle is a global recycling phenomenon. Since it started in Arizona in
May 2003, it has grown to more than 4 million members in more than 4,100
cities, from Istanbul to Inwood. It boasts of keeping more than 300 million
tons of trash out of landfills every day and has inspired imitators.
There are, says founder and executive director Deron Beal, as many
heartwarming stories as there are groups: the American Indian tribe that
collected used prom dresses for girls in need; the Hurricane Katrina
evacuee who furnished a new home; the 98-year-old man who collects and
assembles bicycle parts, then gives what he's built to children; and the
woman in Austin, Texas, who collected items for an orphanage in Haiti, then
got FedEx to deliver the shipping container for free.
"It's just all sorts of countless acts of random kindness," says Beal, 40,
of Tucson, Ariz. "Whatever they want to make out of it, they really can."
Call them corny. Call them cliche. But Freecycle is built on principles
that work: One person can make a difference. Giving is better than
receiving. One person's trash is another's treasure. Commit an act of
kindness and it will be returned.
"It's not like a get-rich-quick scheme. You're not going to get everything
you want every time you want it," Gernell says. "The more offers you post,
the better outcomes you're going to have."
Beal began his experiment with an e-mail to 30 or 40 friends, inspired by
his Dumpster-diving adventures on behalf of homeless men trying to get back
on their feet. When his nonprofit group's warehouse was full, he realized
he needed a new way to unload.
His network grew to 800 members almost overnight, after a newspaper story
started spreading the word.
"From the get-go, it absolutely snowballed, and we're basically doubling in
size every year," Beal says. About 30,000 people join weekly, with the
single largest group in London, some 40,000-strong.
Though Freecycle caught on first in progressive cities like Portland, Ore.,
San Francisco and Madison, Wis., Beal says Chicago, St. Louis and New York
followed quickly. Then word of mouth took over, with people in the cities
telling people in small towns.
"It's very much a viral sort of growth and randomly beautiful," he says.
It's also self-policing, patrolled by 10,000 volunteer moderators who
ensure that items are being swapped legally, and that all are G-rated.
Playboy collections and porn tapes are a no-no.
"West Virginia was probably one of the slowest states overall for it to
really pick up," Beal says, citing lack of Internet access as a likely
reason.
Earlier this year, the Public Service Commission estimated that less than
35 percent of West Virginia households had broadband service. A June survey
by the Communications Workers of America measured the state's median
download speed at 1.12 megabits, one of the slowest rates in the country.
However, West Virginia has more than two dozen Freecycle groups, with
thousands of members offering a service Gernell says many people need.
"Even at Salvation Army and Goodwill, you still have to pay for things,"
she says "With the cost of living the way it is and gas prices the way they
are, the prices there are still way more than some people can afford."
Heather Edwards, a moderator of the Martinsburg-Berkeley County group in
West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, finds great deals for her four children,
who range from 9 months to 15 years old.
"I got a humongous plastic playhouse for the kids," she says. "It costs
about $400 new."
Edwards, 35, often drives to Hagerstown, Md., to gather her Freecycle
finds.
"They have everything from Sunday coupons to refrigerators," she says.
"Yesterday it was a whole dining suite - a table and six chairs."
She urges novices to post more offers than requests, to avoid being greedy
and to use common sense in arranging pickups to ensure personal safety.
Andi Bassett, a Morgantown mom with five children ages 20 months to 10
years, says she'll soon be donating a batch of baby clothes.
"The most appealing thing to me is finding someone who wants my 'junk,'
that it's useful to them and they are thankful for my unwanted stuff," she
wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "And the same is true of other
people's 'junk' that is useful to me: I am thankful for it. Freecycle just
puts people together."
"You got em smokem."
