I agree...anyone who is not yet a member should seriously consider it. I picked up 2 gorgeous pine cabinets this morning and got rid of some old tiles we didn't need to a good home.

ive been a member of the Stoke/Staffordshire one for some time very good site

I was a member in Australia for 6 years, and a member here for a year...

Yes, its very good for keeping unwanted things out of landfill...

I got a Piano Accordion, gave away my iMAC, gave away furniature recently when we moved house, and acquired a TV/DVD player

Mind you I hope it being listed here doesnt promote people who only want to use it to take stuff to then sell later - people on freecycle really don't approve of that!

I was a member of two local ones a while back, but i got fed up with the emails too, so left them, but may look into it again.

Two directors chairs, a bag of rice cakes, a laptop bag and a wireless router (and maybe something else I forgot) have been made possible through FreeCycle, but not without a lot of travelling.

Isn't there an option to view the threads on the site rather than by email? I thought there was but may be wrong.

My uncle was too ill to drive anymore, and gave me his car............

I didn't need another car (I told him at the time, but he wanted me to sort it out for him, and wasn't interested in a return) I wasn't interested in the hassle of dealing with people for a few hundred quid.......

I gave it away on Freecycle. In my local groups, I've seen a few cars going (and I've taken only a few bits I felt I really wanted/needed..........not cars..lol). It felt really good to give something decent back to a really good idea.
