The Classified Ads
Information on Craigslist.org and sites like Craig's List
Online classified ads are one of most overlooked sources of freebies on free sites (but certainly not here). And they are arguably the best way to get freebies because the only strings attached are revealing an email address and doing a local pick-up.
People use classified ads websites to give away items they don't need anymore. By giving an item away, instead of throwing it away, they perform a service to the person receiving the item and to the community at large. The person giving away the item doesn't have to do the work of getting rid of the item. The person receiving the item gets something for free. And the item doesn't take up space in a local landfill because it is being reused. This is a situation that mutually benefits everyone.
Since most of the items that are given away on classified sites are used, there will always be those items that actually belong in the landfill. However, freebie seekers can rest assured that there will also always be situations where perfectly good, usable items are given away for free.

All free classified ads websites are a source of free advertising. However, tangible freebies can mostly only be found on classified ads websites that are very popular. If the classifieds site isn't very popular, then the freebies listed will only be promotional items, like free downloads and free invitations to seminars (non-tangible freebies). If the site isn't popular then there simply will not be people who go to it to list their give-aways.
A common search on the internet is for "sites like craigslist". This is because Craigslist.org is the classic example of a classified ads website where people give and get items for free. However, few sites on the internet, let alone sites which specifically offer free classified ad services, compare with Craigslist.org in popularity. So sites like Craigslist are few and far between. ActuallyFree.info will strive to find those sites and list them here.
