Don't just Chuck it, Give it!

The Salford Freecycle® group is open to all residents of the Salford area who want to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away.
One main rule: everything posted must be free. This group is part of The Freecycle Network, a nonprofit organization and a movement of people interested in keeping good stuff out of landfills.
