It's Free, Though I'd Pay for Something Better PROS - Free to use - You may get free stuff - Someone may collect your unwanted stuff for free - Green ethos - recycle and reuse - Site requires log-in profile, so some protection for personal details CONS - Site functionality: unable to upload photos despite following all their hacks/fixes inc. creating fresh posts - So had to share phone details to send photos - Unable to delete posts - Time taken to approve posts - Seemingly impossible to unsubscribe from and I defo didn't sign up to get general emails I really like the idea and would happily pay a donation to help towards cost of improving functionality

Mixed review I use Freeview mostly to give items that are too good for the tip away for free to people who need/want them in the local area, but honestly, it's just such a faff and you often end up sitting in the house for hours waiting for people who never show up. I've had good experiences with people being really responsive and collecting quickly, but more experiences with people not responding / being no-shows / not having space in the car for it. For balance, the one time I used it as a 'customer' - I got a lovely piece of furniture in great condition that I still use to this day. The issue with Freecycle isn't the concept, it's some of the time wasters who use it...

loved FREECYCLE in the past loved FREECYCLE in the past. And still the concept is great. New site is counterintuitive and difficult to navigate. Really miss the instructions that were given to all newbies back when it first started. it was very straightforward. now I am clicking on different things just to try to change status of offer to "taken" and it's wasted a lot of time. MISS THE OLD SITE. Just posted something and could write "TAKEN" when someone took it without trying to figure out the bugs in this new site. Really need someone with experience to overhaul the site and make it user friendly. Thank you... the concept is still great. Just need to make site Way easier to use PLEASE!

Absolutely perplexed by so many… Absolutely perplexed by so many "timewasting" reviews on here. Only because I've tried several times to get Offers from freecyclers - I've sent messages online as well as email - but I never seem to be successful! Never seem to get any responses. Would love to know where I'm going wrong here. Can't help for want of trying to take people's stuff off their hands!

I absolutely LOVE Freecycle I absolutely LOVE Freecycle - I have picked up loads of excellent quality items (wardrobes, glass coffee table, lampshade, desk, bed, mirror, drawers, bedside table to mention just a few). I have also passed on many unwanted items including a bike, old desk, coffee table, towel rail, bedding, clothes. I guess it depends where you live
