New websites pop up all the time, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there is a new classified site being made available right now, even as you read this. However, this is a site that offers more than just a resource to look up ads, it’s a safer and superior alternative to buying and selling online. As one of the nation’s first classified websites, and a companion to a highly popular LA-based free classified ad magazine, Recycler.com is a new site that presents a real breakthrough that offers a state of the art national classified ad platform.

Looking at the combined set of search features that come with a continued emphasis on free, live user support, recycler.com is doing a lot to make the experience better for everyone who tries it. With a family-friendly alternative to buying and selling a variety of merchandise that ranges from musical instruments to puppies, this site offers unprecedented safety. Nationwide listings are provided using a geographic and category-targeted group of listings, which offers buyers a dozen online sites, as well as various leading local and niche classified ad magazines across the USA. The goal seems to be the delivery of local listings, but also to enable sellers to post their items online and in print, which would be across local markets nationwide. That’s a pretty good idea, and it definitely gives sellers a chance to target their sales to the market they need, rather than just playing the numbers in a haphazard way.  Pam Johnston, Recycler.com’s Chief Operating Officer, says “Our local free ad model was so successful, we felt it was time to take it national, and to give buyers and sellers across the nation a better alternative to what is currently being offered in the online classified marketplace. We’ve retained recycler.com’s local content and feel, while providing users greater flexibility with expanded search options and state-of-the-art technology.”

Recycler.com was first launched in 1994 from Los Angeles, and is now a national-level product that continues to be one of the fastest growing and trusted online buyer and selling communities nationwide. It was started as a companion site to the popular LA-based free classified ad magazine, which has been around and in circulation for about 37 years. Today,  this magazine has blossomed into a forum that carries 12 online classifies partner sites, and 65 leading local niche classified ad magazine partners across the country. Recycler.com reaches about 30 million users with over one million ads posted each month, so this is no small figure we’re talking about here! These huge volume ad streams deliver a vast supply of high-quality ads directly from business and consumer sellers, to buyers that are found both online and offline. This really makes Recycler.com a highly unique and exciting marketplace like no other.

When you stop to check out the site,  you’ll find a host of intelligent features that make the experience better than ever before.

“Setting standards and moderating the community to adhere to those standards is very important to us,” said Johnston. “We set out to build a classified experience that reflects today’s user preferences around search and delivers great results for our advertisers. Our new national website easily connects buyers and sellers to the products and services they want and need, whether they are in another state or just around the corner.”
