_____________________________________________


Sandy and Biggleswade Freegle is an online reuse group for locals to give away & get things for free. As long as whatever item you are giving away or asking for is legal & tangible, then it will be allowed on the group listings.

Freegle is a massive grass roots initiative that is leading environmentally positive individual action across the UK. There are over 330 independent groups spread throughout Scotland, Wales, NI and England & we have over 1.2 million members. So Sandy and Biggleswade Freegle is part of a very popular modern activity! Making good use of stuff that we all already have by making sure that it is not unnecessarily dumped at the tip or lying around not being used. You would be amazed at what you can get rid of & what you can get. The amount of goods that we ensure are reused rather than thrown away is growing every day. It is really easy to be part of Freegle. You’ll need access to a computer & an email address.

Not got your own computer, then visit your local library & use theirs for free?

Go to:
or
to join or if you have a Facebook account type in Sandy and Biggleswade Freegle in search & like & join the group there.

Any problems please email:


Freegle groups also foster community spirit, lessen mindless consumerism, assist the economically challenged, reduce the burden on local council’s resources & encourage a more sustainable lifestyle... all done locally by locals & all done for free! So by joining up to the Sandy and Biggleswade Freegle Group you may even meet neighbours & discover positive initiatives going on in your area along the way.

Whether you are an individual, family, old or young, a local organization, sports club, charity, rich or poor or a business you can benefit from joining & start to offer any unwanted items you have to the other members in the group. Other members will email you if they are interested in the item you offer & arrange to collect it from you. Or if there’s some item you are looking for then you can ask for those things too… someone just may have what you are looking for, & no longer need it themselves.

So whether it be a TV, empty moving boxes, clothing, sports equipment, DIY materials, a household full of furniture, toys, books, some dishwasher tablets, office equipment, fresh squid or an old WWII shelter it is possible to give it away or get it for free via Freegle, instead of it going to waste at the tip or languishing unused.

Freegle members can save money, time, energy and the planet – all at the same time!
