Give away your unwanted items

As an alternative to putting certain unwanted items in the skip, why not consider giving them away...

Freegle is an online service which allows you to get and give unwanted items for free from residents within your local community.

For more information on giving away your items and how to join the community visit I Love Freegle - Preston Freegle Group.

To find out what residents are giving away in Preston currently visit I Love Freegle - Preston items.  

Alternatively, you can donate your unwanted items to local charities, a number of which will collect free of charge.
