Freecycle

A college at work told me about Freecycle a few days ago. It's an email list where people offer up stuff they don't need anymore, for free, to anyone who can use it, rather than throwing it away.

It's great! Someone offered a Sony CD Walkman they didn't want, and I asked for it for Christine for while she's in hospital. This tickled the lady, and she walked round to my office with her own little baby, and gave the CD player to me, for free.

There's all sorts of things offered; pots of paint, old cars, wardrobes, bulbs, you name it. And there's lists all over the world. Take a look at the Cambridge area and find your local group!
