You can find everything, including the kitchen sink, at the Douglas County Freecycle website. 

Douglas County Freecycle, can be used by any one in the greater Douglas County, Georgia area who wants to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away.

The goal of this group is to reduce waste by connecting individuals who are throwing away goods with others who are seeking them - whether it's a chair, a fax machine, a piano, an old door, or even the kitchen sink.

Douglas County Freecycle only has one constraint: EVERYTHING MUST BE FREE!
