It really does work. I first found out about FreeCycle through a colleague of mine at work, who furnished her entire new flat with items she had acquired from FreeCycle ... all completely free! 3-piece suite, wardrobe, wide flat-screen TV, dining table and chairs ... etc - even a perfectly workable dishwasher!
We're not talking about rubbish collection here - these are perfectly usable items (sometimes unwanted gifts still in the box) which are basically being recycled - for free, hence the name FreeCycle.
FreeCycle works all around the country and has been set up in other countries also.
You can either seek to offer (for anyone interested, to come and take away) or receive (you go to collect) - anything from a tin of soup, cushions, comic collection - to a coffee table, computer, chest of drawers, wardrobe. In fact - anything you can think of, you're bound to find at some stage through the FreeCycle site.
All you need to do when you first join up is fill in the details of the surrounding areas convenient for you to collect the items on offer. (You have to collect yourself, so if there are any large items where you need help with lifting etc, you would need to arrange for yourself the suitable transport and help required with lifting etc)
