writes Freecycle is capable of a quick turnaround. The protocol states you should pick up within a very short period, I think around 3 days, and you can always say if your timescale is shorter than that. And you don't have to give it to the first response, so you can go for the person who sounds least likely to mess you around. Please see other emails Kay re. not able to offer it on Freecycle apparently! Feel quite disgruntled................... -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Freecycle is a bit of a pain to join! I just want to advertise the glass etc but first I have had to join yahoogroups, (good grief there's some right twerps on some of those!) and then I have had to APPLY with information about myself AND to justify why I wish to join! I joined Freecyclence, without too much bother. Of a dozen or so items I advertised, only about two were actually taken, but I did get a couple of very useful things from it. However I came out of it because I was sickened by the fact that there were 50% more people posting 'WANTED' than posting 'OFFER', and some of the wants were just sheer greed - people asking for specific models of cars with current MOTs, three-piece suites which must be black leather in good condition, washer-driers, fridge-freezers, HD TVs, DVD players and all sorts of expensive items in spite of the ground rules saying that expensive items should not be asked for. A friend has just been trying to give away an old aluminium-framed greenhouse. Apparently the type of glass used in old greenhouses is no longer legal. He had someone interested, but this chap changed his mind, and eventually the greenhouse went to the tip. The glass can't even be put in among the bottles for recycling, it has to go to landfill. Not a happy story. |

writes Back to the idea of Cat's wine. Put it outside the gate in a box saying "free to a good home". If you have a pile of old newspapers placed beside it so people can wrap it too, so much the better. I did something similar with unwanted cartridges of ink for a defunct printer. They disappeared pretty quickly! Not so sure about 6' x 3 foot panes of glass :) -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

They need to know if their process is putting off new members. Share all your grumbles about yahoo, but once I got on to Yahoo, getting registered on to all three of our relatively local freecycles was simple. And of course, once you've done it, you don't have to do it again. Lots of people on freecycle are interested in plants, you know ;-) -- Kay |

Sounds like a perfect arrangement as long as they don't keep hold of it for ever and a day! Before they charge us to collect heavy rubbish all we had to do was put it out on rubbish day. The trailer park scrap merchants took everything. Next it was formalised. The trailer park guys were banned and we were charged. Then it was phone to have stuff collected Then it was limited to items not longer than one metre on any dimension. Then it was find somebody's unattended skip and dump it there or take it to the rubbish sorting place and give it to them. -- Our rubbish dump, sorry council recycling centre, has just had a whole array of fancy movement detectors and security cameras installed.
