Freecycle

If you've got stuff that you haven't used for ages, don't let it rust in a corner of the house, freecycle it!

Freecycling is a great concept where you give away your stuff to someone who needs it. Yes, for free.

Mr R and I joined our local freecycle group online and offered Mr R's old sports bike, in good condition. In a couple of hours, we had several emails asking for the bike. Gave it away (same day!) to a man whose son's bike was stolen from the station recently.

The cycle's gone to a good home. Send your stuff away and look at other people's offerings for things in really good condition. You might find a gem!

Look at www.freecycle.org and find your local group on the left hand menu.

The Mumbai group currently offers mostly study books but I'm sure that will change soon. Have fun!
