freecycled
Donated for free
Freecycled describes something given away or obtained for free through informal exchange networks, especially online communities where people pass along unwanted items rather than discarding them: I freecycled the old couch instead of hauling it to the dump.
The practice emphasizes reuse and keeping usable goods out of landfills.
