In Canada, there is also the Fullcircles network -- FullCircles.org -- in addition to Freecycle and ReUseIt.

And, there are local "flavours" of freecycling in the U.K. as well.

Members are able to post messages about items they want to give away, items they are seeking or items they have received. The groups usually operate using an online forum in which members can either log in to check postings or send messages to members’ e-mail accounts. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://nwanews.com/bcdr/News/67027/print/"><P>The popularity of the recycling groups has grown, and  users agree that it’s probably because of increased awareness as much as the economy. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CCB7EB75-2E2E-4E43-A7ED-FFD4E9526081/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
