Freecyle - do you use it
 

Currently decluttering to get ahead of an imminent house move, Freecycle is just the best, is there anything people wont take

Do you use it?

I used it last week after a spring clean. Easier than going to the tip and it really is true one persons trash is another person's treasure.

its briliant, even half empty paint pots....gone

never heard of it

its a website you can offer items for free, or post a wanted advert if you are looking for something, or lend or borrow...

i had a look. I do take a lot of stuff to the tip but i need the guaranteed space rather than wait till folk came around. Any half decent stuff i just repackage and back to the auction it goes

tbf they literally come round next day especially if you post on a Friday, it costs nothing to post and just mark as Taken if it is taking too long to shift

im taking an antique box to the auction this week as someone bought it and they contacted me and said can I pick it up from you this week at the auction, i said sure


I do not know who they are :fist:

They probably know you :hee:

I put something on last week and had 10 emails about it in the first hour. I posted it at 10am and it was collected at 6 when I got home from work (they would have come earlier).

I can't remember ever putting anything on and it not going. I've had a few bits off there - got Matthew a scientific calculator for school and it is a really good one.

I doubt that a vibrator of that size had ever been posted before?

You cheeky bastard

I’ve Collected a trailer hitch off there before
But some people take the piss in offering and asking

Some sh1t should go to the tip and some of the things people ask for like lap tops with the latest software, I’m like fcuk off you grubby fcuk

That's what he said when he collected it :laugh:

Free


What is the Catch.................

there is a small but discernable chance you could meet cherie or anniek


:omgno:

I've never used Freecycle but I've looked at Olio which does the same, but also has free food that is about to expire. I've never got anything though.

I've used Too Good To Go which lets you buy cheap food from shops eg. £10 worth for £3. However you don't know what you are getting.

i've used the council item collection which allows up to 4 items and costs £27 which is a bit of a pain

We have thing in our town called Random acts of kindness,which I gather is the same as free cycle as we advertise stuff we dont want for free and people come and collect it,

There's free stuff on Facebook Marketplace, too.

A lot of free furniture.

:laugh:

No catch Arista.... its a bit like donating to a charity shop...no catch there either..

So this weekend I got rid of more paint pots, and an old telly and some duvet covers....Mr C is away at the other house and he is wondering if there will be anything left to come back to :laugh:

Its amazing how many people will take paint pots with a bit of paint in :think:

JUst posted my first thing on it :amazed:

i don't think a set of broken golf clubs will be very popular

if they were good clubs then its easy to replace a shaft so they would be desirable
