Free Stuff
An inspiring way of getting free stuff is by joining the internet groups of Freecycle. Freecycle’s slogan is ‘changing the world with one gift at a time’.
On Freecycle people give away stuff that might end up to landfill sites otherwise, for example old carpets, leftover building materials, kitchen appliances, but also much more – books, materials for crafts, furniture, computer parts and so on and so on… You can OFFER your own stuff and ask for WANTED stuff if you really want something. You’ll organise a pick up for the things you’re receiving, and can start decorating your house then!
In Greater Manchester there are several local Freecycle groups, in Manchester, Trafford, Salford and in many more – Check out for your local group and get more information in http://uk.freecycle.org/
