As an avid dumpster diver, i am constantly confronted with the conundrum. All this stuff could be good for  "someone" .  I don't have the cognitive capacity or exeutive bandwidth to make the project that the item in question inevitably spawns. This guilt of leaving it in the trash is eliminated by the in-front of house FREESTORE!



Also there i gave it a website so after you leave stuff you can take a picture of what it looks like and delete the last one.
also the code can be forked so anyone can spawn a freestore live feed from in front of their own porch.



a  bit chaotic at times, somehow it seems to work.

How fun!  Around here (anywhere within a half hour of Portland OR and surrounding cities) free piles are an institution, ))  Now and again someone will complain about the concept because there's already a garbage problem (people litter trash a lot in Portland itself, but out here its not an issue), and someone tries to get everyone to stop having free piles, but most of us keep right on doing it, a great way to share with our neighbours and passersby and to send things on their way to a new home.
