Basically Freecycle is for stuff that's still got a life, that you or someone doesn't need anymore, but are loathed to take it to the tip.,

You can advertise it and, hopefully, someone will collect it, all for free.

Or...if you are looking for something, post a "WANTED" sign!

I send or go with hubby when collecting and always make sure I'm in when someone is collecting.

http://www.freecycle.org/groups/unitedkingdom/ you will need to log on.

 :)
If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.

Most things are offered free. You are not supposed to really advertise for sale. Some areas do allow but must be clearly labelled.
All you do and all you see is all your life will ever be

This is a great website and use frequently. You can post belongings u no longer require vice versa. I picked up 11 gameboy game this afternoon, kids well chuffed. Need to do clear out b4 long so will advertise on freecycle rather than taking to the tip. Can get gardening bits on there as well. Picling some pots up that soemone no longer requires, saves money and the environment!
