About Freecycle

A nonprofit and globally local re-gifting and re-use network, each group is moderated by a local volunteer who keeps things flowing along. It's like a cyber curbside, or a family-friendly and scam-free Craigslist for free stuff, keeping good stuff out of landfills to the tune of 32,000 items a day in over 5,000 local groups. Find your local group on Freecycle.org and let the re-use and de-cluttering begin!

Weird feeling I made a post asking for any digital camera and this person told me they had one and we could meet. I said sure but somewhere where there’s people and then sent me their number. I checked her picture on whatsapp (around 60 years old woman) and decide to check if it’s AI generated or not, and it was 99.9% generated. The way she was talking and how she looked didn’t match either. The person was also being quite insistent on meeting… why are you insisting if you’re giving it away? I’m not meeting up with this person but be careful with this!!

Overall very good experience Overall very good experience. Have been able to give away seamlessly loads of things Vs sending for recycling or landfill. One young woman from the Ukraine was looking for warm clothes for her mother. We ended up talking about her journey. No complaints - great idea.

Pretty good overall Only had one experience, but overall was pretty good. I guess because the other end was interested in the product I was advertising, so the whole process was pretty smooth, even though I had to rush because of the short time frame I had. My only complain would be the platform's ux design, but since I only needed to use the site once, I wouldn't say it was a major problem.

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!
