Where to turn trash into treasure
Find out where to give your unwanted items a second life, from council facilities to online networks.
Having a clear out is great, we get it, it didn't 'spark joy', but could someone find a use for those glass jars or box of unwanted 'whatever'?
Check out this list of places where you can turn your trash into treasure or just grab a bargain.
Freecycle Freecycle is an entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving and getting stuff for free in their own Towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Membership is free. And now you can also set up your own, smaller personal Friends Circle for gifting and lending of items with just your friends! Sign up now.
