More info on finding freebies with classified ads online.
Craigslist.org
Craigslist makes revenue by charging businesses to post job offers. All non-business listings are free. This is the classic example of a classified ads website with the necessary level of popularity for obtaining tangible freebies, Craigslist.org is consistently in the top 100 most popular websites listed on Alexa.com (a traffic ranking website owned by Amazon).
To get your freebies, go to Craigslist.org, Select your state and city, click "Free" (under "for sale"). When you find something you want, contact the person giving it away. If its still available, go pick it up.
Tip: Most items are given away on a first-come-first-served basis. In order to be the first to ask for an item, get instant notification software or service which alerts you when an item has been listed. Its similar to an email client that alerts you when "you've got mail".

eBay Classifieds (formerly Kijiji.com)
eBay classifieds (formerly Kijiji) is eBay's attempt to compete with Craigslist for the online classifieds market. The site has a better design and is more user-friendly than Craigslist. However the battle for website traffic continues.
To get your freebies go to eBayClassifieds.com, select your state and city, click on "free stuff". Local pick-up only. Items are rarely delivered.
Freecycle.org
Freecycle is a non-profit organization that was established to connect people who are giving away items with those who need them. The founder saw that too many usable items are thrown away; so he established Freecycle in order to reduce waste. Freecycle uses Yahoo! Groups to establish the network between givers and takers.
To get your freebies: Sign up for a Yahoo! account (its free) and join the freecycle groups in your area. Once you join, you can browse the items being given away, or you can request an item. Another user will respond by email if they have the item you need. One of the rules of freecycle is that users cannot charge for the items. Local pick-up only. Items are rarely delivered.
See other sites like Freecycle.org.
Tip: Get an account with a free photo host so you can put a link to photos in your listings. Freecycle.org doesn't have free photo hosting like other classified sites.
