in Freebies gone but not forgotten
If you have any goods which are too big to be disposed of why not list them on this site: http://www.free2collect.co.uk :j

Or alternativley you can get loads of stuff for free, all you have to do is go and collect it.

I rent a house out to students and they are always trashing stuff, so far I have collected sofas, TV's, dishwasher all in working condition
I must really get some work done instead of spending time on here!................ ;) OH WELL! as long as i don't get caught :p :grouphug:

    Yes, i have come across sites like these before. Cant remember the names but they are genuine and its to encourage recycling rather than just dumping items.

    yes, it's definately NOT spam. check out OP link.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    I love frecycle .. I have gotten rid of so much that wuld have gone to the tip .. and also recieved lots that would have cost me a fortune.

    One day in the summer I picked up 3 things that would have cost me over £100 if they were new
    I am journeying to a debt-free life.
    Our estimated debt-free date is January 2040. I'm on a mission to bring that date closer!
