Hi Emma, thank you for your review and for being part of the reuse community. Glad you find the website easy to use.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A great free service... A lot of crap flaky people on it

I've been moving house and am very pleased to give away all sorts of household items (cooker, microwave, light fittings, building materials) that I don't have a use for. Super happy to keep stuff out of landfill whilst giving someone else a hand. The app is good and aside from a few outages and crashes it's functional and easy to use.

But oh man, the freegling experience. With the exception of one or two lovely straightforward people, I get rude over-entitled demands, people don't show up, people who disappear for days, even people who demand you take your stuff to THEM. It makes me want to toss everything in a skip and just walk away (ofc I won't because - landfill).

So I both appreciate the app and the service it provides and absolutely loathe the experience.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you have made good use of our reuse site and App - just so sorry that the experience has not been very happy for you. We all hate the "no shows" and people that don't respond or don't seem to be able to do so politely. Sadly all "free" sites seem to suffer from this. Can we ask that you mark these people with a "thumbs down" as this helps fellow freeglers when choosing who to give their stuff to.

Freegle is brilliant!

Freegle is brilliant!
Great way to pass on things to others that can make use of them and save from the tip. Everyone's been very friendly and reliable. Now preparing the next batch.

Brilliant site for giving away or getting stuff

The Freegle website and app are so hugely useful. I've given away and got so many things on them. It's a great way to keep useful things from going to waste by passing them on to other people nearby who can make use of them. Very easy to use.

Freegle (ilovefreegle.org) SIMPLY WORKS!

Freegle (ilovefreegle.org) is a well-organised site, giving both sides of recycling, the givers and the receivers excellent opportunities to benefit, and making huge impacts on reducing landfill, thus making our planet a little greener.
There are things that could be improved, but it is clear that these are being addressed and remedied on a regular basis by the development team.
In the vast majority, users of the site have great respect for it, but most of all for each other and our respective environments.
Sometimes, it feels a little like Christmas!
Amazingly, it is free!
Governments could maybe benefit from studying this model?

Thanks for your review. Yes we are constantly trying to improve the site and make it easier for all members to use it. We also have people who work with Councils to help spread the word. Some of these do advertise Freegle as a way to let residents know how to reuse stuff before it gets sent to landfill - a win-win situation all round. Sadly it sometimes falls on stoney ground, so if anyone wants to check out their local councils and let them know .... :-)

I love the fact anything can find a new home

I love the fact that nothing goes to waste. Even things that might need fixing there are people who will be happy to take it and repair for there own use. Even a empty box can find a home. I use it to both give away and receive and never have had any problems with the site or the people using it, I would encourage everyone to join and save things from land fill

Important and friendly way to give and get.

I've been using Freegle for years. I find it invaluable for getting rid of (sometimes quite random) things and for getting things I want but don't want to buy new. Join us!

I love listing unwanted items knowing they are going to a good home and not a land fill! I have never had any issues and collectors are genuine and grateful. This is an amazing organisation run by trust worthy people. Well done to you for what you are doing I applaud you.

Simple & free

Simple to use, if you need something look through the posts or if you have something you don't want. Post It !
Only down side is people who don't turn up.
