Southwark freecycle

[mishadreams]

Hi all,

Just a mention of Southwark-freecycle as a really good alternative to dumping the tips etc. If you have items you have no further need of or have outlived thier purpose (please no gender jokes) it's worth a look. Essentially, for those who don't know, it works as a swap shop, the main proviso being that nothing is sold and everything is free. Have a look at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/southwark-freecycle

and no I have no connection other than I am a new member and think it's a great idea.

cheers

Freecycle is fantastic.

I have given away a pram, and collected some excellent hi-fi. It's not strictly a swap; you can give or you can request. The southwark group is new [groups in london are borough-sized so less transport is involved] but i have been a member of lambeth group for about six months.

you can join in two ways; either by receiving email allerts [good for smaller groups like southwark] or by having access to a message board [good for big groups like london] so i get both in those modes. you have to offer something free to start the membership.

Highly recommended, and you [usually ] get to meet nice recycling kind of people like you are!
