Freecycling - Finding and giving away free stuff
Here's a nice story out of my hometown of Tucson. Deron Beal sent an e-mail to his friends and local nonprofits suggesting they start an online service that would enable people to donate used household items to local residents and in 2003 the Freecycling Network was founded.
The goal is to lend a helping hand to those in need and to minimize waste by giving lightly used items a second life. With more than 4,000 "Freecycle communities" and 3.5 million users, it's caught on quickly.
To try it out, go to Freecycle.org and sign up for free. Then you'll receive email listings for free things and can start offloading things you want someone else to have.

Or just put your stuff on the curb. It always disappears in my neighborhood.
Seriously this one works in the UK:
