Maybe I can join yours. How much does it cost to mail an 8-foot 2x4?
Do you have to wrap it?

If you're in western New York, people might actually be willing to
come get it: we have members living 45 mins away from our city who
participate. But if you're in a place like metro DC with the horrible
traffic, unlikely not. What about Habitat for Humanity: can they use
the materials?

I doubt it.

I signed up for my crummy little freecycle n'hood 48 hours ago and
their email with my ad went out 36 hours ago. No replies yet.

So I put an ad on Craig's list. We'll see if I get any replies.

If not I may use a friend's address and another email address and sign
up for the other freecycle (although even if I change the ad some, if
someone reads both lists, they may figure it out. But why are they
reading both lists if I'm not allowed to belong to both. Are they
allowed? That's outrageous. Or are they just looking for cheaters?
That's petty.)

If no one replies, I'm just going to throw it all away. If I don't
get that done before the surgery in the second half of January, I may
have to go out of town and when I get back it will be spring, so maybe
I'll try again to get rid of some of it. My neighbor is impatient or
I wouldn't be rushing two ads in two days, and I'd just wait for
spring and do it all then, although people are right, The grass is
dormant in winter.
