Freecycle

The Launch of Tower Hamlets Freecycle!

We are all worried about climate change and full landfills. Here is something you can get involved in that will help to make a big difference to reduce waste to landfill.

The Freecycle network is made up of over 3,600 Freecycle groups in over 50 countries worldwide with around 2.5 million members. It's a grassroots and entirely non-profit movement of people who are giving, and receiving, items for free in their own town or borough. The network provides individuals and non-profit organisations with an electronic forum to "recycle" unwanted items. One person's trash can be another's treasure!

Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer and membership is free, "our mission is to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources and eases the burden on our landfills while enabling our members to benefit from the strength of a larger community."

The Tower Hamlets Freecycle group is open to all who want to recycle that special something rather than throw it away. Whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door, feel free to post it. Or maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself. Non profit groups are also welcome to participate too.
