Freecycle have recognised that every once in a while we all have something that is “too good to throw away” and so have taken the ‘recycling’ concept to the next level, by providing a facility to recycle things whole!

If you are a member of Freecycle (you can join just by asking) then you can just send a message offering your item and your location and other ‘freecyclers’ will be glad to take it off your hands.

Equally, you may find other freecyclers have ‘just the thing’.

I have just collected some pallets – to frame my composting heap at the allotment. Di collected some wall tiles – I believe she will break them and then decorate some terracotta plant pots – there is a market for that kind of thing.

Here’s some examples of other items that have appeared as available in the last 24 hours:

tv wall brackets
car radio and CD changer
Various Childrens things
BT Vision Box + BT Vision Hub
Turntable
Bike Rack
Bird Cage
Pine Dining Table

So, you see, I get about 10 of these e-mails a day – every now and then I see something that is of interest to me. Mind you, that does mean that I get alot of e-mails that are of no interest at all, but it’s easy to set up a ‘rule’ on your e-mail software to file ‘Eastleigh Freecycle’ in a separate folder and just glance at the recent items when you remember.
