Freeuse website Link to freeuse website

The Freeuse website is an easy way to give unwanted items a new lease of life, either by giving items away, or taking them, all for free!  The website offers a simple way for residents in the Leicestershire area to advertise items they no longer want, or pick up items they need, all items are free and the site makes it easy for givers and takers to use.

It's estimated that £5.6 billion pounds worth of good quality usable household items are thrown away in the UK every year. That's why we've created Freeuse, where you can quickly and easily advertise your unwanted possessions, or search for an item that you could put to good use.
