RE: The Buy Nothing Project Has Reached Our Suburbs.
I'm fascinated by this online group thing. In the Thai village, were I live, we have a simpler system: something you don't want/use/need? put it out front of your house with a note (in thai) and it's gone within the hour. Includes recycling glass, plastic and paper which needier people sell, clothing etc. Need something? Ask one of the known village connector people (lady from the noodle shop, local bar girl or the local temple custodian) and it's sorted within 48 hours. People still talk to each other here. Nice that you found a group. :)

Leaving things outside with a note is still employed for larger items here. That method is usually most productive on busier streets, not so successful on dead end ones like mine. They don't do this in the UK. There are people who'll come and collect scrap metal and old car batteries for free, too. Just give them a call. It's funny how different cultures have different tolerances of what's socially acceptable. It's something we're having to relearn, this swapping of things.
