Welcome to the Hackney Freecycle message board. You are welcome to join, if like us you either live or work close to Hackney.

We are a group of people, voluntary and community groups who like to see things re-used or recycled rather than incinerated or sent to landfill. Whether your children have grown up and no longer need their old toys and clothes, or you are upgrading your kitchen appliances, there are always people in our area who will appreciate the chance to re-use these things and you will feel pleased that they will be given another lease of life. You can also post a wanted request, you'd be surprised how many people have things that you need that they are happy to see taken by people who really them.

Just one golden rule: everything advertised must be free! So have fun and jump right in!!

WARNING! When you are filling in the application form, we recommend you change the default setting from Individual emails to Daily Digest.

The Individual Email option means you get each group message and special notice individually and immediately, as it is posted. YOUR EMAIL BOX WILL QUICKLY BECOME CLOGGED.

Finally, why not check out our new supporters area at http://hackneyfreecycle.org.uk it's a great way of keeping in touch about our social events, how to volunteer and how to spread the great work we are all doing!
