Get rid of unwanted items online

Before you bin something you don’t need anymore, consider selling or giving it away online. It saves you a trip to the tip, avoids bulky waste collection fees, and keeps good items out of the waste system.

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 – or you can post on local community social media forums.
