    Ellie, I use Freecycle, I NEVER list my address! I take emails for response, and sometimes I list my phone number (which is unpublished, so no one can back track it to me.)

    Sometimes I'll have someone come to the house for a pick up, mostly we meet at the super market parking lot. The stuff is free after all!

    As for the knives: Salvation Army / Goodwill sound good. Or call your Town Hall, they will redirect you to the trash collection for your town. They will tell you how to handle it. I call all the time as I am cleaning out my folks' stuff (shhh, don't tell my dad!)

    I Freecycle alot and have never had an issue. Did you post your address on the email that was sent out to the group or just to the weirdo? I hope you notified the group moderator? They can take action by banning the person.

    PS, I wouldn't just throw them in the garbage as they will go to landfill and be there for all time pretty much..wrapped or unwrapped. Someone must be able to use them?

    You should have spoken up sooner. I went the duct tape route.....
