FREECYCLE

Posted on January 24, 2009

by Liz Cox, 11 Stoneham Lane
Freecycle
I’m sure many of you have discovered the Southampton freecycle group but in case you haven’t and are in the middle of a New Year declutter…the Southampton Freecycle® group is open to all Southampton residents who wish to “recycle” that special something rather than throw it away. It’s part of The Freecycle Network®, a nonprofit making organization which is interested in keeping good stuff out of landfill. You can recycle almost anything as long as it’s not alive! (Rules are on the website). I’ve recycled curtains, Christmas trees and games, but it’s particularly good for things that are too big for most charity shops and it’s nice not to have to trek to the Dump. You need to be ‘online’ and it’s free to join. Everything you offer must be offered free but you can also post ‘wanted’ adds. If anything takes your fancy, you email the person offering it, but obviously you are not always successful. Some people complain that they’ve had their time wasted when items are not picked up when agreed, but I’ve never experienced that problem. I’ve met a lot of very nice people who were very glad to take my ‘stuff’ away and I was glad to see it go to a good home!
If you want to try it –
google freecycle Southampton and you’re away!
