We have used this to dispose of household items which were to good for the tip but without the hasstle of ebay etc

Works well - but have not used it to either get items or to request items

Freecycle is great I have been using it for ages got some very good things off there, but you have to be quick if not it will be gone but some don't decide on the first come first served. I've never posted a wanted or offered but will do if needed to save it going into landfill.

This sounds like a good idea so I shall look at the site.

Freecycle works well - I have used it several times to acquire and get rid of things. My only comment would be that they don't like people obtaining and then selling stuff on.
