Frugal isn't being poor or cheap...it is using up all of what you are
using....IOW, not being wasteful. I think recycling fits into that
definition.

I agree! I hate waste too.

Same here. I co-own the local Freecycle chapter (the real one, not the
freecycle.org stuff). Not as big as it once was (mostly due to Yahoo
changes to groups) but still trafficing a couple of hundred messages a
month. Guy just passed on some high end audio gear (home recording
shop, make your own music CD's). I just posted for a 12 cup coffee
maker to keep one out of landfill. I passed on 13 cans of cat food
(grain free, high end) that my cat won't eat. Passed on a high end
cable modem/router with wifi when I swapped to FIOS last month.

Picked up some excess butternut squash, all nicely cubed (person tried
it and didnt like it) and some freezer burned venison (for the dogs).

Thats this past month. It's about being green and finding uses for
things or if you don't have one, passing them on to another who can use
it. Like, I need to ask if anyone has babyfood jars with lids or
Talenti empty containers with lids. I use them for spices when we
order in bulk then split them down.
