A free box is a box or location used to allow for people to rid themselves of excess items without the inconvenience of a garage sale.
If, after a period, no one has claimed the items, the contents of the box may be donated to a charity like Goodwill or The Salvation Army.
Free boxing is implemented at the University of Saskatchewan,[1] in Victoria, British Columbia,[2] in Isla Vista, California,[3] and in Crestone[4] and Telluride, Colorado.
[5][6][7] An online version of a similar concept is The Freecycle Network.
New College of Florida is home to a student-run free table (open throughout the school year).
