You might not want it, but someone just round the corner might. All around the country there are Freegle Groups and Freecycle Groups, find your local group and free gift the items you don’t want to someone who needs it/them. You might need something, in which case sign up, search for the item or post a wanted ad for free.
The central West Sussex Freegle Group is Steyning Freegle Group and there is a central West Sussex Freecycle Group in Horsham.
All items must be legal and appropriate, and free. No loans, swaps or sales please – just free gifts.
Sign up Sussex and get recycling rather than filling up the landfill!
We want you, the people of Sussex, to take some ownership of the site.

Blanca and Carrie trained with Better Tomorrows CIC earlier in the year to become voluntary Waste Prevention Advisors. Better Tomorrows’ aim is to change how the residents of West Sussex think and behave in order to be more environmentally-friendly and more sustainable.
