The concept behind Freecycle 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.

Freecycle* helps re-home unwanted but useful items rather than throw them away.

Everything offered must be totally free of charge!
