Useful

From a freegler on

What a useful website this is. I recently bought a house and the vendors had left lots of big pieces of furniture that the charity shops didn't want to take. This would have meant a skip job or trips to the tip, adding more to landfill. The items have been promised, with more still to sell. The site is very user friendly and I feel happy that someone is able to use furniture that still has life left in it. Thank you to your volunteers, for enabling this to happen.


Treasured home made curtains and chair covers re-homed

From a freegler on Lancaster Morecambe Freegle

I helped the family of a dear departed friend clear her enormous house full of amazing stuff. I took down the gold brocade curtains and 6 matching chair covers that my friend had made. No one had the space or style for them. They were going to be tipped. I couldn't let such beautiful items made with my friend's love and dedication be discarded. I brought them home and washed them, then freegled them. The lady who took them was ecstatic. You'd have thought I'd given her the crown jewels.I was thrilled that they went to such an appreciative recipient.


Better than the skip

From a freegler on Carnforth Freegle

Because of family circumstances, I have had to move house four times in 15 months. Most moves have involved downsizing. I hate the idea of usable, usually excellent-condition things my husband and I have lived with and loved for years, being thrown into a skip. I have been able to give most of these important things, from shelves to dog-crates, away - and usually (not always) to people I have been glad to meet and whose genuine need I have recognised. This has given me much pleasure. The avoidance of adding to the world's landfill problem has helped greatly in my changed circumstances.


I have an heavenly garden

From a freegler on Malvern-Hills-Freegle

I'm am an avid gardener back in The Philippines but since moving in England our new home have small garden and no way of making a garden bed. I got loads of pots and plants and some old chair that I diy-ed and now I have the most colourful and vibrant potted garden! Because of it I'm now out of my anti depressant!!! I'm over the moon!


What to do with outgrown life jackets!

From a freegler on Oxford Freegle

We used to have an Indian canoe that we used to take our 3 kids for rides up and down the Thames.

When the kids became adults, their little life-jackets got relegated to a chest in the hall, where they were lonely, and gathered dust.

But then I found Freegle, so I advertised the jackets, and they were picked up by a lovely gentleman who teaches children to fish. Unusually, the children that he works with are all blind, so they can only be on the river bank if they are wearing life jackets. What a wonderful use for our tiny little life jackets. I was absolutely delighted, and so were the fishermen!


Hate throwing things in the rubbish bin that someone may find useful.

From a freegler on Telford Freegle

We have cleared out a flat for my mother in law and are now clearing out my mother's house. We take as much as we can to the charity shop, but some things we just know they will struggle with. We hate taking stuff to the general rubbish where we know it just ends up in landfill - so we freegle. That way people who really want something get to enjoy it, and the waste is prevented. Everyone wins!


One good turn deserves another, or 'pay it forward'!

From a freegler on North Down and Ards Peninsula Greencycle

I was freegling a desk as having remarried we now had 2 desks in the 'computer room', and with grandchildren arriving I needed to convert this room and add bunk beds. These were duly delivered from Argos, but needed assembled. My friendly feegler arrived with his teenage son to pick up the desk, and on hearing my story, offered to build the bunks for me (2nd hubby developing dementia and sadly beyond his scope). Friendly freegler proceeded to teach his son how to build a set of bunks, and they did the job so well I had to contribute to the son's new hobby he was telling me about as he worked... learning the guitar I think... and his father offered to help in future with any similar jobs needing done! Thank you, Freegle!

SO beneficial for all of us

From a freegler on Cheshunt and Waltham Cross Freegle

I am 53 and medically retired from work but spend time looking at things of interest on my lap top.
I have 2 daughters and 6 grandchildren. Between us we all have things we need and when I found the site it was perfect. I could give stuff I don't need away and help others out. And I could find things that we needed. Its especially for children clothes and toys.
The fact that we are also not adding to landfill is perfect. This service is amazing and everyone can benefit from it. I am always recommending it.


Huge thanks to Penrith Freegle!

From a freegler on Hayle and St Ives Freegle

After my sis in law died and my Mum in law moved to a much smaller place we had two of everything we didn't need. Living five hours away transporting it to our house to Freegle was an impossible task. Thanks to Penrith Freegle we were able to find new homes for beds, dressers, fridge freezers & lots of useful kitchen stuff all in one weekend!

It was much appreciated by one family who used it to help furnish her Mum's and her brother's houses

And feedback from another "Our friend got the keys to her flat today, moving in tomorrow. She's over the moon with the fridge/freezer and kitchenware."

I can't abide waste!

From a freegler on High Wycombe Freegle

My grandmother learned to make do and mend, during the war. She passed this ethic on to my mother, who passed it on to me. There is so much waste in our world and I very much appreciate Freegle's solution to the problem. I've freegled things like hardcore, which I had no idea that anyone would want, and perfectly good items that I just no longer had a need for. I've also received a lot of useful things including roof tiles, toilet, sink, bathroom cabinet, kitchen cabinets and a heated towel rail, all of which are now part of the scullery and downstairs loo that we made when we converted the brick sheds next to our kitchen. I've met some lovely people, too and would thoroughly recommend Freegle to anyone who wants to reduce waste and take a positive step towards improving our world.


Garage Clearout

From a freegler on Sheffield Freegle

I decided it was about time that I cleared out the garage as I needed the space for a project. The ladders were taking up most space, and I no longer used them. So that was my first Freegle a couple of weeks ago. It was such a success that I've now passed on several other items. Each item has received at least 6 replies in a very short time, and everyone I have dealt with has been extremely nice and appreciative. Now, what else can I pass on?


give and take

From a freegler on Gravesend Freegle

It makes so much sense to give things that you don't need or take things that others don't need. I have met about 8 people and all have been charming. In fact i try not to give first come first served and share the items out as far as possible!


People in Need

From a freegler on Bolton Freegle

If Iv got something I normally take it to the dump but when I heard about Freegle I had a look & on the wanted side of it were people asking for items from baby gates to clothes for disabled people so I decided to see if any of my unwanted or my family's unwanted stuff could help anyone & my 1st item that I Freegled went to a family who had there 1st home it was a table with no chairs, I'm hooked in helping.


Why throw things away when others can use them.

From a freegler on Scarborough and Whitby Freegle

I remember a number of years ago,something I will never forget.....
A man who had come from Africa seeing a lot of things being thrown away at a place I worked at.... His words have never left me ... why do people here throw so much away why don't they give them to my people in Africa.
I was lost for words and although obviously these things are not going to Africa but at least someone is making use of them and this has become very important to me. I hate wastage so much can be done with the simplest of things. Many people who do crafts use materials which would otherwise have been thrown away.
It feels good too to know that something is going to be given a second chance.


Brother inspired me

From a freegler on Dunstable Freegle

I visited my brother and sister in law in Carlisle. While there he cleared his garage of stuff that was clearly treasure to those collecting it,

He also saved a snooker table from being broken up and donated it to a local charity.

So came home and joined in the movement.

I am a cleaner and am often asked if I need furniture that us just being changed.
I upcyle loads and sell stuff, as well as give loads away.

I love seeing stuff go to new homes.


Decluttering our home

From a freegler on Derby Freegle

We are getting older and thinking about a time when we may need to downsize homewise so we are gradually giving away items we no longer use. It is great to see the smile on someone's face as they come to collect the items free. We also used freegle when we had our parent's houses to clear.


I'm intrigued by what is Freegled

From a freegler on Portsmouth Freegle

I have used Freegle for a number of years. I read almost all the messages that are posted out of curiosity as to what is being exchanged and I'm intrigued by some of the items. Several years ago around Christmas a 'Mrs Santa's outfit - size 18' was offered. I kept an eye open for the 'Taken' message. Sure enough a few days later 'Taken - Mrs Santa's outfit. A lot of requests for this . . . mostly from gentlemen'. Imagine Christmas Day in some house: 'Just look at what I've got you for Christmas my dear . . . '

bathroom suite on freegle!

From a freegler on Brighton - GreenCycle Sussex

OUr toilet cracked and I put out a 'wanted' for a new toilet - to my delight, a woman from nearby got in touch to say she had a whole bathroom suite she was giving away! our old one was that tasteful shade of 70's avocado and the side kept falling off the bath.
We drove over to Shoreham and found the bathroom suite in her back garden - it just fitted in the back of my van, we brought it home and the only cost was for a plumber to fit it all, but now we have a nice new bathroom suite and no avocado to be seen!


Facebook advertising works!

From a freegler on Anglesey Freegle

I had a message from a friend of mine. "Just thought I'd let you know, after some of your comments about using Freegle. I was helping my mum to clear some things from the house and after failing several times, suggested Freegle. Sorted in less than 24 hours and I'm back in London at least a day earlier than planned.
Thanks for repeating the name, it stuck."
So, I'll keep commenting on friends Facebook posts asking if anyone has a ... "try asking on Freegle".


Brought up to value things.

From a freegler on Chelmsford Freegle

I was brought up to value and respect things. I hate waste and can't bear throwing things away. I have given many things, from shoes and clothes, to large items of furniture and even a mobility scooter. I have received some lovely items too. From a dresser, which I repainted cream, to wool, which I am crocheting into small toys for people. I've met some lovely people. It's a great way to recycle.


Full circle!

From a freegler on Bangor Freegle

When we were married, over 40 years ago, the service and reception were recorded on a portable cassette recorder. I then transferred it to a reel to reel tape, using a Grundig TK 14. Some time later I gave the Grundig to my brother in law, as he was interested in sound recording (and went on to join the BBC).
Recently, I rediscovered the tapes, but the Grundig was long gone. I then thought I'd ask on Freegle for a reel to reel machine so we could listen to the tapes again.
A kind soul said he had something and I went to collect it. It turned out to be a Grundig TK14!
I will transfer everything to cd and then offer the Grundig on Freegle!
After various clear outs I have been pleased to rehome quite a bit of stuff, so it works both ways!


Your rubbish is someones treasure

From a freegler on Stockport Freegle

We all have things we outgrow, do not need anymore .... and think " lets tip it"! But I have seen so many happy and grateful faces when they come to pick up my rubbish. It makes you feel good as you are saving the planet and making someone's day.

I have also been one of those who get the pleasure of reusing other's rubbish. I have a lovely table in my conservatory, and my school have benefited from goal posts, tennis balls, pool table and a roll of hessian, which has been used in many craft projects.

I even freegle for others. My sister and my father have wanted to get rid of stuff to the tip and I have freegled it on their nearby groups. One couple were in tears as they collected a shed for their allotment. They could not believe it was free as they had been looking on sites that sold used goods. Hopefully my sister's hutch will find a good home soon. Keep up the good work!


More human than charity shops.

From a freegler on Matlock Freegle

I've always given clothes I'm no longer wearing to charity shops (and still do) but it's usually very impersonal and sometimes I struggle to carry bags from the car into the shop so it's great to have the human contact of actually passing something over to someone who thinks they can get more use out of it than you will. Occasionally friendships have been struck up and at the least there's often an interesting conversation to be had with the collector.
It's also a great way to de-clutter your house and so much less time-consuming than trying to eBay things for what's often a very small return.


Making our jobs easier as volunteers.

From a freegler on Torfaen Freegle

I've been a member on a personal basis for a number of years - and have given away desks, chairs, pictures, craft items and a petrol lawnmower. I've also received chairs, stools, tables, and other items. I've helped others set up home by collecting items for them and passing on televisions, stands, crockery to younger family members setting up their first homes.

In November last year, my partner and I joined the local school PTA. It operates as a charity - and as we all know, money is very tight in education these days.

We have held various fund raising events - and Freegle has helped with members generously donating books for the school library, Christmas decorations for the Ffair Nadolig in December and most recently, tea-trolleys we can use for storing and transporting our heavy trays of mugs and cans, etc, around the school.

At the Christmas Fair, the children had a lot of fun using props provided by one lady following a gangster themed wedding. She was even kind enough to deliver them to my home from around 7 or 8 miles away. We were able to keep in touch and I sent her some of the photo's so she knows the props we're well used. We've also acknowledged the donors on our website.

It's a great feeling when someone receives something you were no longer keen on, like a picture you've tired of, or maybe you've had a change in family size and you have too much furniture or not enough. To be able to give something freely or receive something for nothing is a wonderful thing. It doesn't just help the environment, it's a good boost to your spirits too!

And I know it's not just me that feels this way - because so many of the people I've met have been so happy that their items are going to a good cause - I've received items from physiotherapists, retired librarians, churches, local charities, even an old school friends Mum - and I thank them all on behalf of the PTA of Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw.


I don't need it but it can still be usefull

From a freegler on Fareham Freegle

I freegle because we have been hard up in the past and been very glad of people helping us out with stuff that is still usefull. Just because we don't need something doesn't mean it has no use. I am only to happy for somebody else to get some use out of it. On the flip side I have taken a couple of things that have been very usefull to me. If everybody helped one another out a bit more often the world might be a better place and the earths resourses may stretch a little bit further.


bits of old metal and farm-fresh eggs

From a freegler on Hastings Freegle

My young daughter's homework was "make a sculpture of some kind out of pieces of metal" to represent some kind of creature or friend of the Iron Man or something. I had no idea what to do. I had a bright idea: ask on freegle! I put: "WANTED: small pieces of anything metal". I got a response that someone had some springs and some chicken wire. Great I thought. I went round, and the springs and chicken wire were absolutely perfect; I glanced out into the garden and said "Oh you've got chickens?" and they said "Yes, want some eggs?" So I took home exactly what I needed as well as 6 fresh-laid eggs, and my daughter's big brother and his friend helped her fashion a beautiful fox which, years later, is still a proud possession on display


Freegle saves space, time and your sanity!

From a freegler on Cheshunt and Waltham Cross Freegle

In an age so dominated by people wanting to make a quick quid on eBay, Freecyle was a breath of fresh air.

I've been giving the house a Spring clean but once you've cleaned one corner of a room or a drawer somewhere, you realise how nice it was not to have belongings piled up everywhere. I recommend Freegle because it's so easy and it benefits your local community. I look at the space created and I'm very smug because the house looks bigger, there's less dusting to be done - and you can just breath a sigh of relief. It's really quite cathartic.

At the same time you give away something that someone else would dearly love and maybe can't afford. I've met some lovely people and I really appreciate those who apply for an item and tell me why they want it and what it means to them. My unwanted items have become new-starts for divorcees and finishing touches for others. To complete the cycle, I've also collected items from other Freeglers which replace broken or missing items of my own, sometimes things which can't be replaced new. I recommend Freegle to everyone.

Built a garage using donations from Freegle

From a freegler on North Shropshire - Market Drayton, Whitchurch & Wem

I have recently completed a garage using bricks, roof tiles and window frames from generous users of Freegle. Of course I had to buy some materials but their donations have halved the price of the build while keeping this stuff out of landfill. Thanks to all who have donated to this great sharing site. I intend to keep giving stuff away as my part of the Freegle pact.


There is no such place as "away" so not possible to "throw things away".

From a freegler on Wokingham Freegle

The most powerful message I ever heard about waste was also the most simple: "It is impossible to "throw things away". There is no such place as "away"."

For some reason this really resonates with me, and makes me think of the film Wall-E, in which the mountains of "waste" sent to landfill result in humans abandoning planet Earth entirely.

I actually find it really hard to get rid of anything I own and struggle to take it to a charity shop where I think it may well sit, unloved, until someone throws it "away". I love finding someone who really wants an item I could live without and hearing how they will use it / how much they will enjoy it. It helps me declutter and I have given so many things away knowing they are going safely to new homes.

I also enjoy knowing I am frequently meeting people who care as much as I do about keeping items out of landfill.


Trash and Treasure

From a freegler on Bexhill Freegle

I have given away many things, over the years, to people on Freegle. From a sewing machine to a sand pit etc. A lifetime of accumulating items that, at the time, was something one could not live without, only to find it at the back of the cupboard because it takes too much effort to use. If someone else can get some use from it then we have a win win situation. Keeping items out of the landfill can only be a good thing.

My husband and I have also found some items of use for ourselves. We have never been disappointed with the condition of anything we have requested and been lucky enough to find. The exercise bike is one item in question.......considering it was destined for the tip or landfill.

Everyone we have met have been friendly and pleasant to talk to. I hope the availability of Freegle continues long into the future.


My garden is almost entirely Freegle!

From a freegler on Penrith and Eden District Freegle

We have had numerous compost bins; a bicycle to convert into a compost trommel; railway sleepers to make bridges; spare decking for various other applications; fencing wire; glass bricks for cold frames; wrought iron gates; fence posts; lots of lovely plants, bulbs, rhizomes; a fire place (now a garden incinerator); a snow plough;. We haven't yet found a chaff cutter, a contorted hazel and one or two other desirables, but hey! It's great fun! And we like to think that our blackcurrant cuttings, old doors, angle irons and various other things are constructively adorning other people's projects too.


A lovely person gave us a caravan

From a freegler on Elmbridge Recycle

We are a small charity promoting environmental empowerment, upcycling and reuse and we travel around the Country promoting the cause through theatre, walkabout and entertainment.
Two years ago we were very fortunate to acquire a small caravan because we were lucky enough to spot one that had been sitting in a local pub car park for many years and was offered to anyone who wished to take it away because the pub was about to be converted to housing. It required many hours of love and care as it had been neglected, squatted and attacked at one point with an axe! Suddenly our lifestyle was transformed from sleeping in our windowless van to the absolute luxury of accommodation with windows, a sink and all the accoutrements associated with caravan living.
Last year we had the caravan parked off season up a friend's small driveway when is disappeared without trace along with many of our belongings. Having no resources to purchase another one and unfortunately no insurance, we turned to Freegle Wanted on the offchance that someone may have one languishing in their back garden. We had no response for over a week but suddenly, out of the blue I received a text late one evening on my phone (I included my mobile number) and after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing are now delighted to say we have been offered a perfectly good specimen that is waiting for us to pick up from a caravan site on the south coast - not requiring any restoration or repair. We now look forward to the Summer Season due to the generosity of a fellow Freegler of which we are eternally grateful.


Freegle helps me to help

From a freegler on Bradford Freegle

I volunteer for a refugees and asylum seekers project. Sometimes people arrive and they have where to live but lack the most basic things: coats, shoes, basic household stuff. We collect donations but often we don't have what people are asking for. So I look up on freegle and when I see something that is useful I ask for it: hoovers, boots, beds, drawers, saucepans etc have found a new happy home


Community spirit

From a freegler on Dartford Freegle

I discovered the Freegle community groups after relocating from South Africa to the UK. We shipped all of our belongings across and once we had found a suitable home here to put down some roots, we discovered that some of our furniture etc. didn't fit into the new space. I did some web surfing and saw a way to recycle AND help the local community at the same time through Freegle.
Just a few of the items I've given away would be a new microwave oven and a lava lamp to a young man moving into his first flat. Some kitchen goods for someone going to university. A desk, bookshelves & rug to a chap who needed it for his office, a boutique dress to a lady who wanted it for her granddaughter for a formal event, bits and bobs for a lady who works with autistic children and plants from my garden for a lovely family who was keen to do a garden makeover!
I've met some great people along the way and it makes me happy to think that in some small way, by passing these items on to local people, we have made a difference to their lives, promoted community spirit and saved perfectly good items from becoming landfill. Why not have a Spring clean? Your unwanted items may be treasure to someone else! :-)


trouble with bubble

From a freegler on Bedford Freegle

when you'v e unpacked all the stuff you ordered, what happens to a mountain of bubble wrap? Freegle it! So along comes a Discovery van, and wow, it all goes in! What happens to it then? Well, it gets reused as packaging for fragile pottery and goes all over the world in little pieces. Now that's what I call 're-cycling!


A pop star's gift

From a freegler on Malvern-Hills-Freegle

I once needed a wardrobe, when I was living in London, but could not afford to buy one. Somebody offered me one, which was the perfect size. My husband managed to hire a van via our car club and we set off to a part of North London I was unfamiliar with. When we arrived I realised that the owner was very wealthy as the house was an imposing detached house. I felt quite embarrassed and nervous as we were quite tatty looking and I had never been to such a grand house before. As it happened, the owners were extremely friendly and even helped us load the furniture into the van. My husband assumed that the person who helped us was a workman but. Later, however, I discovered that "the workman" was an extremely well known pop artist who had had a number 1 hit. It taught me that even wealthy people can show acts of kindness to strangers and also, that my husband and I were fantastically out of touch with popular culture!


Jammy tales

From a freegler on Lewes and Seahaven Freegle

As a recent preserver and baker for our country market I'm always on the lookout for jam jars and anything else that may help me to keep going.
I think my first 'donation' was plums, kindly delivered to me as I don't have a car. Then followed the jam jars, I think I must have received over 100 so far. This has saved me from buying new ones- I still cant get my head round this fact- a new jam jar would cost me more than a jar of the basic marmalade in 2 well known supermarkets. At one point I considered buying them and dumping the contents just so I could use the jars! But thanks to freegle friends I can keep preserving!
