Freecycle & Freegle

Freegle
Freegle is a UK-wide online community where users can either post up offers for people to take unwanted goods off their hands, or post up everyday items they're keen to make use of. The aim of the group is to keep anything reusable out of landfill sites. The basic principle behind the site is this - all offers and requests must be freegle ie. free and legal (some groups may have additional guidelines).

Freecycle
Rather than throw items away you can get your unwanted items reused with Freecycle. Just list them on your local Freecycle page and if you're prepared to give them to someone for free they'll probably collect your item from where you live. Freecycle is also a great way of finding items you need that someone else would normally throw away.
