The Freecycle Network™ is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, find your community by clicking on the region on the left. You may then go directly to your local group by clicking on "Go To" or you may immediately joining by clicking on "Join." It will generate an automatic e-mail which, when sent, will sign you up for the local group and send you a response with instructions on how it works. Can't find a group near you? You might want to consider starting one (click on "Start a Group" for instructions). Have fun!

got my brother a set of golf clubs,bag and trolley thingy off here - cost me about a quid in petrol to pick it up. A mate of mine has also had 2 CARS from here- ok they didn't last long and weren't the height of luxury but they beat walking for him

I use these, prefer someone to use my unwanted items than throw them. I had 2 Ikea cupboards for the kids bedroom on here brand new well worth signing up.

I am a moderator(yes one of the good guys) on my local group so i can recommend using it.
My daughter needed things for her flat and there were loads of offers.

I was using free cycle to but unsubscribed not so long ago as we are moving but I will be signing up again.

I got rid of some stuff from some wanted ads that I knew wouldn't be going with me (just left in the shed) nothing wrong with them just stuff I replaced. Plus we got a new TV an had no idea what to do with the massive 32" bulky one & it was gone 12 hrs later. Much better than filling your garden with rubbish I say & it's nice to help out I think too.

This sounds like a great idea, and there is a group in my area

use this site loads you can get loads of useful stuff
