Recycle and Reuse

I hate throwing away anything that can be recycled/ repaired/reused. So, when I found Freegle a few years ago I have managed to give away so many things, which probably would have ended up in landfill.

Cannot fault Freegle - I use it daily

Cannot fault Freegle. I literally use it every day to keep an eye out for useful free items and materials to repurpose or reuse. I've also been successful asking for items people have they don't need any more.

Free to use, supported by voluntary donations rather than ads.

Some goods go like hot cakes

Some goods go like hot cakes. 12 enquires in one day for a gym exercise machine. It is great to see things being repurposed and not just dumped at the local council tip. I suspect some offered goods might be taken to a car boot sale by some Freeglers, but I don't care as long as they find a home.

Thank you for your review Brian. Yes, we would like to think that stuff we offer and no longer need is useful to the person who collects rather than being taken to be sold on and we do ask those who seek to resell items to declare this, although we suspect few do. We also suggest checking profiles of those asking for stuff and see how far away they are from you; resellers tend to travel further and usually only to acquire the more expensive and desirable items. Even so, resales do also prevent stuff ending up in landfill and that really is our primary purpose.

I really do love freegle

I arrived in UK a few days ago ... freegle has been amazing this far. It really is a great tool in terms of upcycling recycling and reusing. I am not yet allowed out of isolation (10 day rule) but am looking forward to fetching items being held for me. (Much appreciated). Thankyou

Hi Carol-Ann. Thank you for your review and welcome to Freegle! Hope the isolation doesn't get too irksome but at least you are putting your time to good use.

Fabulous website

Fabulous website. Such a great concept to reduce waste in society. I have donated items but also collected ones and it has always been a smooth process. It is a great way to give back.

Brilliant for moving house

I've used freegle at least 50 times to get rid of things when moving out, and to acquire new goods for my new house. I just leave stuff out the front of my house and people collect it (as arranged) - it's brilliant!
It's awful to waste so much stuff, and it's amazing what other people use

Thank you for your review. Always great to hear from a member who has found the site so useful. We are constantly amazed at how our Freegle community can make good use of other people's unwanted stuff.

Thanks, Freegle, for helping me to share

Freegle has been my go to reuse website to give away stuff (I am at a decluttering stage of my life mostly) for years now - useful features, responsive volunteers behind it. Occasionally someone asks for something without thinking it through and then drops out - but they can be rated with a thumbs up/down, so this keeps us all a bit more considerate! I love the breadth of asks: camper van, to nasturtium leaves to make pesto!

A great way to enable the 3 R's

A great way to enable Recycling, Reusing and Repairing. I have both given and received many times on Freegle and all experiences have been positive. To anybody wanting to reduce waste you should definitely give it a go.

Everyone should join Freegle!

I've used Freegle for years and saved tons of perfectly usable items from going into landfill. I've never had any issue while donating. Freegle is a really great service!

Freegle is so useful

Freegle is a very straight forward way to clear unwanted items to people in your area. Really easy to use. It's not as prone as other sites to have no-shows and time wasters, either, I've found. I really enjoy using it. Seems very well run by volunteers.

Thank you for your review Pamela. Our volunteers do their best and are always there if you need any help or clarification. Sadly we do get some no-shows and time wasters at times like any such sites but the vast majority are good members of our reuse community.

Fab Freegle.

Hi,
I have been a member for many years now and have got rid of alot of stuff from my home, as I am a bit of a hoarder. This is pleasing to know that other people can make use of it and it's not going into a landfill. I also have collected other peoples items & also made use of it.
It's a fantastic site and every town should be doing this to help the enviroment.
Rob.

I'm proud to be a part of freegle

It been a great site to both receive items and give them a second use ( os third or fourth) as well and a great chance to give things away.
It really make you thing about what item still have life in them and may be useful to others even seemingly random things can find a home which is fantastic!

Community sharing service that works

Brilliant service for putting together people who have with people who want. Instead of binning stuff you don't want, or buying stuff you do, try looking here. It's wonderful to know that your castoffs are finding someone who truly wants them. You occasionally come across someone less than genuine (as always in this world) but people can get scored thumbs up or down, so you can choose who to deal with.

Thank you for your review Arthur. Yes sadly the occasional person is not your usual lovely Freegler - but thankfully they are in the minority. Glad you are using our thumbs up/down system as this can help everyone else.

Everyone is kind and friendly, brilliant site.

This is an absolutely brilliant site, I've freegled lots now and it is amazing what is put there that people want to give away. Every single person ive met has been so kind and friendly, I havent met a single grumpy person through freegling it is such a lovely community. 🥰 I would massively reccomend everyone to get on freegle, it's amazing what you can pick up and it's amazing what you can get rid of too. Theres nearly always someone out there that will want it and it saves it from the landfill which is amazing, we need more freegling and less bin collections 😁🥰

Save a few quid. Save the planet. Why not?

Like many others have said, I don't usually bother with leaving reviews such as this. But I felt it was my duty as it is a great way of saving stuff from landfill and its a nice community 👍

Freegle is fantastic

Freegle is fantastic. I have been using it for years; mostly for GIVING. Almost all my 'stuff' goes and almost always people are extremely grateful. I am pleased that things are recycled and go to good homes.
