Get rid of unwanted items online

Before you bin something you don’t need anymore, ask yourself: could this help somebody else?

There are many online sites where you can buy and sell unwanted items such as eBay, Vinted, and Gumtree.

Meanwhile, Freecycle is a site for people wanting to give away items for free – which often means you can avoid a trip to the tip or paying for bulky waste collection.

By giving away old items, you can support people in harder financial situations than you, and reduce waste by preventing new items being purchased.
