IW Freecycle moves up a gear
Changes have been made to enable this scheme to work more effectively in the UK.
Originally conceived in the USA, the UK branches found the American rules increasingly restrictive as the country took Freecycling to heart. However, the scheme is still dedicated to keeping useful stuff out of the landfill.
The Independent Association of Freecycle Moderators, a group consisting of over 450 Freecycle volunteers across the United Kingdom, has chosen the name ‘Freegle’.
This name means a couple of things. First, the name is a combination of the words Free and Google. This refers to how our group is like Google for finding free stuff. Second, the name can be broken up into the phrase “Free Goods Local & Easily”, which we feel is representative of how a group like this operates.
The tagline for the Freegle organisation may also be “Freegle - Waste Not Want Not“.

The same moderation team is still here working away in the background helping to keep the group running smoothly. Because the name of the group has changed, the web and email addresses have changed as well. They are now:
