Not sure how you tell a 'Freecycler' is a worthy recipient or just on

Who cares?


You snipped the bit I was replying to. And taken out of context it changes
the meaning of what I wrote.

I just want to avoid dumping the stuff, partly because I
hate going to the dump and partly to avoid adding the the volume of
stuff dumped.


I have a very convenient tip. Right beside a B&Q too - so can often
combine visits.

If they then go and flog it on ebay, good luck to them.
If I was that bothered about it, I would've sold it myself.


Fine. But I'd be happier if the recipient was honest about it then -
rather than the usual flannel. Because the whole idea of Freecycle was
mutual *free* help - not to feed a business.
