if you haven't heard of freecycle, do a google. in the last few
days I've offloaded a heapload of bricks, blocks, lintols, tiles
slates and slabs which are left over from this job I'm doing.

it's cheaper than a skip, easier than the tip, the stuff literally gets
carried off your premises to be used by someone else.

yes, you do give it away free, but you can also _get_ stuff for free.
have a google and join your local group, you have nothing to lose
but your old unwanted tat ! LOL

Thoroughly recommended (I run the West Norfolk group).

Use www.freecycle.org to find your local group.

Yeah - the mods can be tin gods (not me of course). Some "ambitious"
wanted's are a bit of a nuisance, but when they learn a new porsche
isn't going to happen most start behaving.

The "mods" can be a bit officious .Personally I havent tried complaining about
some of the wants and I think I'd be a bit wary of doing so anyway .
What I do think is that there are a number of people who sit 24 hours a day
waiting for the e-mails to come in so they can snaffle the goodies to do Gawsd
only knows what with ...either sell them on Ebay or car boot sales etc .
I have also become suspicious that some people are being tipped off by mods when
goodies come "on" to the Group and get a head start to lay claim to them .....I
offered to take a bath panel for a specific bath a couple of days ago ..not
something that many people would want I thought...but it had been taken a mere 6
minutes after the message appeared ..

Ours seem OK generally.

Someone did put a 'want' in for NatWest china pigs - especially the
'cousin'. Someone else posted a long article detailing how much these
are worth, and the Moderator let it through.

In ebays case, it's finally got past it to some degree - for example, I
can usually find 1 fridge within 25 miles.

Many think the 'wanted's' are good because they sometimes make you
think of getting rid of something that you hadn't though would be
recyclable .. so they can be ok in that sense?

Yes, that does actually happen.

And do we actually care *what* they do with the stuff as long as:

1) We get rid of it

2) It doesn't end up in landfill?

A friend was about to hurl a large black bin liner in their skip and a
French GCSE book fell out. I asked why she was throwing that away and
was there anything similar in there .. the answer was because "we had
a clear out and 'yes' "? I mentioned that unless she took more
responsibility for what she throws away the baby she is carrying will
be knee deep in the stuff when it is 5 years old (she agreed).

5 mins later we had a few bits to go in the slip, a few of bits for me
(brand new Ir mouse, brand new mini digicam kit, brand new ADSL
filter) and a big bag of good stuff for the Hospice shop (because I
can't be bothered with FC at the moment).

My group had a bit spat over a joke someone posted disguised as a Wanted
post. The poster got banned and everyone was up in arms. The joke was
aimed at all those people who asked for expensive items etc. Here's a
copy of what was asked for:

[xxxxxxxfreecycle] Wanted: 3 Bedroom House. - xxxxxxxx
Needed for expanding family a nice 3 bedroom house. If anyone has one of
these that is now surplus to requirements I'll gladly take it off their
hands. Must be in large town groups based around (don't mind posh outskirts of town),
and have off street
parking. Prefer Detached, but a semi might do at a push. Must have garden,
and a garage. I can't collect.

Alternatively if anyone has money lying about that they have no use for I'll take it off your hands, prefer that you send it to me, but collection can be
arranged. I can then put this towards the house.

Regards,

xxxxxx yyyyyyyyy

P.S. Gold, Diamonds and precious metals also accepted.

Nothing happened to the guy who posted a poem summarising some recent
requests (someone asking for stuff to sell at car boot sales etc!) etc:

Baaa Baaa Humbug have you any stuff?
Sheepskins, Laptops, Houses, Fluff?
One for the carboot, one for the mam,
And one for the little family who live in a wigwam.

FreeCycle has no connection with Yahoo, other than they choose to use
it as a convenient place to host the groups. Personally I think they
would be much better off with PhpBB. So yes, you will have to join
yahoo if you want to use freecycle.

Regarding inappropriate wanteds/grab everythings/sell it on ebay - many
groups do have this problem. If you suspect abuse, then email a
moderator.

I am very strict and never allow anything other than
Offered/Wanted/Taken/Received actually on the list - start allowing
discussion and it soon degenerates into rants - and swamps out the ads.


BUT we also have Norfolk FreeCycle Cafe - a yahoo discussion forum -
for people to discuss issues (and go OT etc). I also reply to every
email to me as a moderator personally - none are ignored.

The message

asking for a phone with camera and polyphonic ring-tones a while ago.

That's what I did and it's why I was banned, I wasn't allowed a right to

It's freecycle's loss, we gave away far more than we received, it's the
Community Shop's (a charity) gain.

You will lose a great deal of time through time wasters who say they'll
turn up to collect but then don't. And answering e-mails from people
wanting something which they don't then bother replying to.

Of course this might just be the vast London group.

Not necessarily, I live in affluent Surrey and have worked for a charity
shop and would not now donate to this or a local hospice charity but for
differing reasons.
The charity I worked for was populated by one or two actually charitable
people but the majority were there to grab as many of the donations as
possible for there own use.
I then took items to a local hospice charity - their central warehouse -
only to find a volunteer emptying bags of paperbacks into a huge wheeled bin
but not for recycling but for landfill. When I questioned him about this he
said it was not worth sorting through the hundreds of paperbacks they
received each week! It seems the same fate awaited hundreds of hardback
books also.
If you cannot make use of certain items either refuse them or at least

We recently had to get rid of a couple of thousands of books - hard backs,
paper backs, all sorts. We cleared the shelves a few years ago, the family
had first pick of them. Then friends. Then we stored them, trying all sorts
of outlets including an overseas charity which pleaded in its advertising
that it wanted *any* book for schools which had none.

They came and took none, all ours were over ten years old. The fact that
there were many children's and adult classics, fiction and non fiction, in
good condition, didn't matter, they were 'out of date'.

In desperation we tried a pulping place in the city. They said they'd
collect them, it would cost us £10. In the end we took them there - after
going through them yet again and hoiking some out. We're now reading fiction
again but there'll come a time when they have to go.

The reason we had to make room was to accommodate the books we acquired
which we DO use. We still have about 3,000 ...

Then there are all the magazines ... not Woman's Own or Hello before anyone
suggests it. When I was a child I loved reading my godfather's bound
collections of C19th Punch. I now have decades of Punch mags from the 1950s
on but no-one seems to want them. It's such a shame.
