Cheapcyle - keep stuff out of the landfill and put money in your pocket!

Cheapcycle is a new form of recycling...putting items that you can no longer use with people who can use them, which keeps the items out of the landfills, and out of the old pile of junk that you never use, but can't seem to get rid off.

Unlike Freecycle, which requires that all items offered must be free, cheapcycle allows you to sell the items, and make a little money in the process. 

Unlike ebay, with cheapcycle you don't have to worry about buying a box, packing the items, and sending them off through the post office.

You do have to actually meet the person who is buying the item, so you should always use your judgement, and be careful when meeting a purchaser, or a seller, just as you should anytime you meet anyone you don't know.

Do you recycle your unwanted items? 

If you do tell us your favorite recycling story!

I've given it all away through freecycle and cheapcycle - from backyard playhouses to the front door.

My favorite is the playhouse though.

I have it to someone who turned it into a chicken coop.

Her coop was damaged during a storm, so the chickens were living in the basement.

It was nice to know that I could help someone, and I was really glad that I didn't have to tear the playhouse apart, and throw it away - which is what I would have done if I hadn't know about cheapcycle and freecycle.

What's your story?

Hi, I'm Sarah, and I love my local cheapcycle and freecycle groups.


It's great to know that things that I don't need any more are finding new homes,...
