3Gs Community Freecycle

The 3Gs Community Freecycle helps to match people who have things they want to get rid of with people who can use them. By recycling we can keep usable items out of landfill. Another benefit of using the 3Gs Community Freecycle is that it encourages us to get rid of junk that we no longer need which could be of value to someone else.

You can use this group to give away things you no longer need or you could use it to swap something you have for something you want.

Maybe you’re looking to acquire something for yourself? You can post a WANTED AD and a community member may have just what you are looking for.

If you have items you want to recycle or swap contact Michelle from the Development Team on 01685 353 426 or email michelle.llewellyn@3gs.org.uk

Your advertisement will appear on the Swap Shop Board in the 3Gs Information Centre and also on the 3Gs website. Anyone interested in swapping an item will have to travel to the present owner to inspect and collect the item.
