Basically you might find your treasure item or supply a treasure to someone else.  I have found this is a cool way to network with folks about other things as well.  The best part is the items are free and you are certainly not harming the environment by sticking what you consider trash into the landfill.  You can locate a Freecycle group near you by clicking the Freecycle image below.  Good Luck!
