Freecycle aims to 'change to world, one gift at a time' by helping to find homes for unwanted goods.
Rather than dumping your stuff down the tip, you can offer your goods to local groups. And if there's something you're looking for, just post a 'wanted' message and you may just get a reply.
There are now over over 370,000 individuals signed up across the UK, spread over 300 groups so there's bound to be one near you.
No money changes hands. We’ve heard of people picking up everything from rare LPs to garden sheds, so it’s worth signing up and seeing what you can trade.
Each group is monitored by a volunteer to make sure everything runs smoothly. There's also a simple to follow posting etiquette so everyone can quickly see what's wanted and up for grabs - click the link for more details.
As long as your goods are free, legal and appropriate for all ages you could soon find a good home for all your unwanted gear.
