Freecycling, also known as Free Recycling, is the act of giving away usable unwanted items to others instead of disposing of them in landfills.[1][2] This term is most often associated with online groups who run mailing lists which offer items to members at no cost. The Freecycle Network claims the term freecycling to be a violation of their trademark rights. There is ongoing litigation on this point, with an unsettled appeal as of July, 2008.
