What a great service this is
I have used Freecycle many times to save having to take stuff I don't need to the dump. And it's great that other people are finding life in things I no longer need - everybody wins! What a great service this is.

I absolutely love the idea of recycling the items in my house I no longer want. I've been able to give away numerous items to people who really needed them, so it's a feel good process. I'm also glad Freecycle updated their website to reflect current times. It would be nice to have an app.

too hard to post to the Cardiff site
too hard to post to the Cardiff site, they moderators keep rejecting my posts for being duplicates when they are edits of live posts. Really useless volunteers who just want to make it impossible to post!! WHY!. I am surprised anyone gets a post of my local site, but as I only see 1 or 2 a day others must be having the same problems, am looking for a better alternative

A terrible interface that is awful to use. Not at all intuitive and very cluttered. The buttons you need in order to navigate are small to the point of being invisible. I joined a few days ago and am just about to leave, shame as its aims are good. But the execution is among the worst I have seen.

Messaging is painfully slow
Messaging is painfully slow. I have waited days to get a response from someone who wants to pick an item up. Relying on freecycle just sullies the good reputation of the recycling movement.

Again - new website not suitable for offerers
Again - as a long time 'offerer' on freecycle, the new website looks to leech funds from every transaction. Not a community service.

Freecycle.org / The Freecycle Network is a charitable nonprofit. Membership is totally free and posting/replying is totally free. We don't allow money to exchange hands ever on Freecycle. Freecycle has 10 million members, and every local group is moderated by a local volunteer. Freecycle is run on about 90 servers in over 110 countries with thousands of volunteers and two staff members globally. Over a thousand tonnes a day of used items are gifted on Freecycle, roughly the equivalent of what goes into a mid-sized landfill. Giving freely with no strings attached is what we are all about.

Freecycle is the typical "curate's egg", good and bad. I have managed to clear numerous items over the years that would have otherwise gone to landfill, but recently my local site seems to have declined. Not sure why. Just not getting interest in items, but when I switch them to Gumtree/free they go in a flash. I have noticed flakey search results in search for items also recently. [cant find my own posted item by name for instance]
