    I think it's an absolute pain having to open a yahoo account in order to register with a freecycle group. All those that think like me should set up our own group. It is snobby in it's selectiveness.

    I feel that it is a good dea, some of the sites are better run than others as I have had a couple of problems with putting out WANTED postings only to have them rejected because I have not OFFERED anything in its place.

    Overall, its a good idea to try and save stuff from going to landfill.

    I would like to have recycled some of my stuff. Finding the site is like looking for a needle in a haystack I feel. I will have on more try before I give up. I think its just an excuse to get hold of my email address, no doubt I am going to get more spam. Therefore I do not recommend freecycle.org.

    Fantastic Idea however I personally cant access any of the links as far as I am aware. Been searching for the past hour or so as far as I am concerned... still haven't gained access to my needs. I do not recommend www.freecycle.org, as in my opinion it needs to be better set up and user friendly.

    Freecycle a nice idea but if I can't join the groups or the site because the links don't work and because it isn't user friendly for me there is no point and I dont recommend this Ad site, I feel like I just wasted 15 minutes of my life.

    I agree with StephanieMountStephen. Still not on. Thought I was signed up with the Milton, Fl site and can't get anything from it so gave it up! Totally not user friendly and I am computer literate!!!!!

    This is a popular site and you might get social kudos for using it.
    But in terms of useabilty, it's very poor.
    This site is powered by yahoogroups, and there's a separate group for each geographical area, moderated by locals of the area. And they don't like people from other areas using "their" group.

    Suppose you wake up one day and decide you need some thing.
    It's very difficult to search back posts on yahoogroups.
    Then you have to sit for days reading every new post hoping things will b ...

    I think freecycle is great. I have been having a grand turn out and have found homes for all sorts of things would have been destined for the skip and then ended up in landfill. Those items that you no longer need may be just what someone else is looking for.
    You do get a few time-wasters - people who say they want something and then never get back to you or worse don't turn up. But this has rarely happened and we have met some lovely people.

    It's a very worthy idea but there are sites out there that offer the same thing but better - http://www.ecyclebin.com for one. Sign up to freecycle.org if you really have to, but it's hard work.

    How difficult can it be to join this site! I have tried and tried, and I have now given up. I have a Yahoo account opened especially for this reason, but no one ever answers. I've returned the required email to Freecycle that said that I want to join, but no communication whatsoever.

    Freecycle is not a website in itself, but a collection of Yahoo user groups. To find your local user group, use a search engine to find Freecycle and go from there.

    The idea of Freecycle is to keep usable items out of landfill sites, and to prolong the use of things that might not be worth much money but still have some life in them, by offering them free of charge to anyone who would like them.

    I found the Edinburgh Freecycle group when my wife decided it was time to start to declutter o ...
