Do you have a brilliant bicycle or groovy guitar sitting at home doing nothing? Don't waste its potential. The Freecycle Network helps people within our district and beyond to give their unwanted items to a good home instead of sending them to landfill. You can also use the network to find items on your wish-list, free of charge.

All you need to do is register as a member of The Freecycle Network in your area. Freecycle is a nonprofit movement that aims to reduce waste, save resources & ease the burden on our landfills, while enabling its members to benefit from the resources of a larger community.

See the Freecycle website to find out more about how to register, and where your nearest group is. There are currently groups in Melksham, Trowbridge and Bradford on Avon.

For more information on how and where to recycle your non-Freecyclable items and waste, check out the West Wiltshire District Council Recycling page and the Recycle for Wiltshire website.
