Freecycle - has anyone used it?

Yes, several times. I usually take the person who answers first as the one to whom the item goes. If they don't turn up, without a good reason, it goes to the next who has enquired. It was especially useful when clearing my parent's home and I was even sent a photo of one item showing where it had been placed in their room. Another sent a text telling me how lovely it was the family could now all eat together round the table, with chairs, I had passed on. It's great to know that unwanted things are useful to others, isn't it. I don't, however, say I will deliver. If a person wants it, they must pick it up. That may sound hard but they are getting an item free.

Yes I use it a lot. Also an app called Olio where you can advertise food and non food items. I have recently freecycled a high chair, some DIY tools and a bin bag of plastic garden pots. It’s a good way of avoiding putting perfectly good stuff in landfill. I know some people use it to sell stuff at car boots etc but that doesn’t worry me as long as it gets used by someone.

Yes it's good .

I've given away a lot of stuff and got a free summerhouse .

Yes, we gave away lots of good stuff through FreeCycle when we last moved. It was quite rewarding, as you can choose who you give to. We helped a young woman who had lost her job to start her own gardening business. Gave her a trailor and loads of tools, a good mower and hedge trimmer, etc. And lots of other stuff too.

We have local Facebook groups where we have given stuff away and sometimes we’ve even sold things and donated proceeds to charity via local groups.

We use Freecycle in spring - give away excess garden.

Yes, we have, though not recently. One item was a double bed in good condition that was no longer needed.

I used to use it, I sometimes found that the same people were jumoing on every post to get everything. I then decided to wait until more people had responded to my offers and that worked better. It gave me a good feeling.

I managed to get rid of a perfectly good tent that I no longer had a use for - with sleeping bags and mats. Several people were interested. It's worth a try!
