Check out Freecylce FREE THINGS IN YOUR TOWN!

greenmillie64

The rules are that no money ever changes hands and no swaps.

There are groups now in most towns
The aim is to stop landfill

A lady in the USA gave away a barn

I get loads of books for free and toys for the kids
My friend got a PC as some one in CHi had recently upgraded

You can offer your unwanted items and request wanted items eg WANTED: CLEAN SOFA BOGNOR
It is fantastic no strings, no gimmicks, no advertisng, I LOVE IT!

If you are struggling finacially its a way to get things you need and a brikliant way to dispose of your clutter:T

As a moderator on several freecycle groups , this is the most common complaint and reason for people leaving. Please sign in on yahoo groups go to your freecycle group and click on edit my settings , change the drop down menu from individual emails to daily digest .
You will then only get one email a day. :rotfl: :T :T

But may well be too late for that certain something that you would have liked. I get loads too but it doesnt take a minute to delete them all if none of of interest.
