Old furniture too good to waste?
Many of the things that we throw away are in fact useful items that could be passed on to someone else.
Community Freebay
If you have unwanted things that are just too good to throw away, and you don't want the hassle of trying to sell them, this website will put you in touch with someone local to Coventry and Warwickshire who can put them to good use. You can also browse a large variety of items advertised by other people, and get them for free.
The website allows you to contact people by e-mail to give or receive free things. Once you've made the link it's up to you to arrange collection/delivery with the other person.
It's easy - just register by visiting the Community Freebay web site.
