Premium Review freecycle.org: Fab local recycling (370 words)

Freecycle is an online yahoo group that enables members to get rid of things in their homes that they no longer want, and maybe gain some stuff for free that they would like instead! I first joined my local group approximately one year ago and have found it so useful. Basically, people join up, and then are supposed to offer an item to the group. This can be anything you no longer use, from hardcore to old kitchen units and baby toys. When you receive a reply from a group member who would like your item, you simply let them know a time and date that you would like them to collect, and that's it done! After you have offered an item (although you ...  Read the complete review

Freecycle is an online site designed to find new homes for old items. It is essentially a network of area based sites hosted by yahoo. Logging onto the site you can search for your area, and pick the freecycle site most appropriate to you. Freecycle works by users logging on and offering their old, unwanted items for free. These can range from old kitchen equipment, furniture, sewing machines, through to bags of baby clothes or eempty boxes of use to people moving house. Anyone can request an item, usually the person offering it will expect you to collect it. Most people operate on a first come first served basis, as there is no way of ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review freecycle.org: something for nothing (397 words)
by - written on 03/11/09 (Very useful, 19 readings)

Freecycle is a network site where people put items that they wish to get rid off for nothing. Its a non-profit site and before you can sell you have to bid for one item on the list. The site is useful for those who are looking for something specific. The reasons we used it - We had a kind sized walnut bed frame which we'd had under another bed in bits, we didn't have a mattress but the frame was in good condition. We had to decorate our spare bedroom so the king sized bed had to go, so we thought lets recycle, we phoned The Samaritans but they picked up during work hours during the week (what good is that?), we suggested they could pop around and collect it at ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review freecycle.org: FREE,FREE, FREE (465 words)

Freecycle. Freecycle groups match people who have things they want to get rid of with people who can use them. Everything posted must be free, legal and appropriate for all ages. I have been a member of freecycle for a few years and had some really nice items from them and made some friends along the way. It all started When my other half was at the doctors and saw an advert so when he got home we looked it up. It was easy to join and we just had to wait for an email from ad min which came through the next day. It has easy to follow instructions which helped me lol!! All you have to do is send a message to the team offering an item ...  Read the complete review
