About Freecycle

The concept behind Freecycle (R) is simple. We send too much stuff to landfill, but a lot of our "waste" items are actually perfectly usable. We throw things out because they are a bit tatty, or have gone out of fashion, or are broken in some small (but probably fixable) way, or just because we got a new one. Perhaps the charity shop won't take it, or we can't be bothered with the hassle of trying to sell it. Some of us hoard stuff in our sheds, garages and lofts, waiting for the day when "it'll come in handy". What we need is a way for the items to find a new home.

How it works

1. You find something you were going to throw out.
2. You offer it on Freecycle.
3. People respond to you if they are interested.
4. You pick a recipient and arrange for them to collect the item.
5. They take the item away.
6. You let everyone know it's no longer available.

Simple, eh?
