Getting 36 washable pee pads FREE!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bnot · 12-03-2006, 06:39 AM

Yes I did type that right! 36 free. Bed pads (for elderly) are the same things.

I use freecycle a lot, and put an ad needing bed pads. (freecycle.org). Its a wesite that if you have something to give away, or need something free you can post it there. Usually there is one in your city. Its a yahoo group, and I've given a lot of stuff away there.

I was contacted this morning by a lady that said she has 36 unopend ones just sitting in her closet, and I was welcome to them since her mom is no longer with them!!! WOO HOOO.... And I was about to spend about 50-60 bucks on some used ones!!!

If you need some, might want to join the freecycle group in your area!

What a smart idea! I have given things away on freecycle but never been quick enough to be on the receiving end. I have seen some pretty amazing things given away though.

thats cool! i am a moderator on my cities freecycle, I love it lol I got a huge fluffy dog bed a month ago...i replied to it thinking maybe its not in that great condition, but I went for it anyway ...glad i did, it was clean, its big pink pillow inside and the outside is white with black paw prints...beautiful and clean...you never know what you will get but its worth the chance most times....Ive given away "alot" too..better than payin the trash man to take it and filling up the land fills

That is such a great idea, thanks for the tip!

I've been using the regular wee pads and I feel terrible about the amount of plastic I'm putting into the landfills.

Is there a way to look at the things on freecycle without having to sign up for a yahoo account?

Bnot · 12-04-2006, 07:31 AM

Tiggerwit, I'm really not sure. I've had a yahoo ID forever. Might want to go to freecycle.org and see.

Strange, I've given away stuff after I thought I'd given away all I had to give away, lol. I have 2 people coming today hopefully to get some stuff.

Website is great, but once I posted for wanting washable pee pads, and got no replies. Then someone told me they were the same thing you put under elderly, as washable bed pads. I got a bingo when posting it right.

I was hoping to pick these up yesterday, but lady is sick. Sure wish I could pick up today, cause down to my last 2 before I have to open another brand new package of the throw aways.

I've been waiting 6 days for the person to get back in touch with me about picking these up! I've sent numerous emails and no reply yet.

I ordered washable crib pads off ebay. Getting 6 for $12.99 plus shipping. They are large enough to cut in 1/2 so buying 6 pads will make 12. Hoping this is as easy as snip, and sew. So acutally will have in the end, 12 pads for under 22 bucks, with shipping! Hope they work like other pads do.
