Massive clear out

[jackie j]

I am having a big clear out next wek cos we have got so much unused stuff.
I have already got 2 full bags that are going to heart foundation, they pick up next week I have'nt even started yet, and lots of shredding to do.
My 12 year old daughter has always been reluctant to get rid of toy's etc but latley she has given clothes and a few toy's to a family (friend of my niece ) who fled a violent relationship with what they were wearing.
Anything that we can't recycle or give away will go in the bin trouble is hubby forgot to put bin out yesterday, he rang me and guess what ? I went to Lottie and complety forgot as well got to wait 2 weeks now and its already full.
whoops !!!!

Oh No, can you not ring council and pretend they missed you!!!

[Novice Gardener]

Have you tried Freecycle?

[jackie j]

Dont think we have freecycle in this area.
I had thought of ringing the council but decided against it

Hi Jackie J, my sister lives near you. Bit of research shows you have the following Freecycle Groups near you - I suspect they all cover your area, Torbay, Totnes, Exeter and Teignbridge.

Go to The Freecycle Network and follow the instructions.

Always worth a try and people will pick the stuff up!!

Freecycle

You have an Exeter And Area branch freecycle-exeter : Freecycle Exeter

It takes a minute to set up an account, and is utterly brilliant for getting rid of your junk. You might also find something useful on it for yourself

freecycle is great, people will take all sorts of junk of your hands, and you get great things too.

I can always take anything to the re-cycling centre for you in my dog van.
