Reuse on the web

Why not use the web to advertise your unwanted items?

eBay is an online auction site. Auctions are held for used, pre-owned or new items. eBay is an excellent way of selling items that are no longer of use to you or even unwanted presents.

Freecycle matches people in local groups who have things they want to get rid of with people who can use them, all items listed are FREE. Freecycle has been described as ‘eBay without the money’.  

Freegle is very much like Freecycle, you can either post an item you do not want any more or you can post a wanted note for something you are looking for. As with Freecycle the aim of Freegle is too keep items in use for as long as possible, keeping them out of landfill and to help local people. All items on Freegle are FREE.

Swapit is a slightly different site, as the name suggests it is a web based swap shop. You get extra points for making swaps which can then be used to purchase other items on the site.
