FreeCycle     -     www.freecycle.org
Just about any item can be exchanged on this site.  The Freecycle Network™ is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is run by a local volunteer moderator. Membership is free. To sign up, find your community by clicking on the region on the right. It will generate an automatic e-mail which, when sent, will sign you up for your local group and send you a response with instructions on how it works. Or, go directly to the Web site for your local group by clicking on your community's link on the left. Can't find a group near you? You might want to consider starting one (click on "Start a Group" for instructions).
When you want to find a new home for something -- whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door -- you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of your Freecycle group. Or, maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond to a member's offer, and you just might get it. After that, it's up to the giver to decide who receives the gift and to set up a pickup time for passing on the treasure.

Smoke Detector Disposal:

Most manufacturers of smoke detectors will accept their own product if it is returned to them.  Due to the fact that smoke detectors contain a very small quantity of radioactive material, the DEP does not require special disposal.  Therefore, it is acceptable to simply remove the battery and place a smoke detector in the regular trash.
