Dame Aussie Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 If they dont want it but aren't trying to make money I wish they'd give it to charity or put in on freecycle instead of throwing it away. Yes freecycle is brilliant! Everyone should use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Some of those who respond to freecycle are just plain rude. They come to your home and after you help load whatever you're giving them into their car they drive off without a word. A quick 'thank you' goes a long way and costs nothing. I now give everything light enough to carry to the Lions Op Shop instead of putting them on Freecycle. A few spoil it for the many. The Lions Op Shop is one of the few op shops that take appliances. They're tested by qualified electricians before being put up for sale, so that's where my unwanted appliances go now. I was a bit of an appliance junkie and bought every new new kitchen gadget that came onto the market. They take up too much storage space and eventually they have to go, some are unused. I feel better taking my things to the Lions. At least they're not being collected by someone who is just out to make some money by picking up freebies.

tikira Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Wow, how lucky are you to have "hard Rubbish" throwouts. We are in Armidale NSW, and the council simply refuse to allow this sort of thing, it would cost them too much to dispose of it and cut back on people going to the dump! However, we do make the most of it when travelling through towns that do have it. I cannot stand "throw-away" society, it saddens and angers me. Surely it is not that hard to attempt to reuse, recycle or give things away? Great haul, Kirislin. Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flame ryder Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks for posting that very sad link Ranga. I have shared it around. This type of thing really makes me so sad and I lose all respect for our fellow human beings...but there must be something positive in all this waste...something...anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
