Freegle

Freegle is a UK organisation that aims to reduce landfill by encouraging people to give things away instead of throwing them in the bin.

Freegle was formed on 11 September 2009 after many Freecycle groups in the UK decided to break away from the US parent organisation following disagreements on how Freecycle groups in the UK should operate, and the dismissal of long-term UK moderators, who had been speaking out, by The Freecycle Network.

As of 10th October 2009, there were 200 Freegle groups with an aggregate of 917,779 members in the UK. This represents over 44% of the original UK Freecycle membership.
