 The OzRecycle Community is an Australian Recyclers Community helping our environment by reducing landfill. How do we do this? By giving away and getting things for free (gifting) instead of throwing them out to the tip or into the wheelie bin. Since the site was launched in 2007 we have seen items large and small offered for free through the OzRecycle Community Classifieds . These items have included pianos, cars, books, televisions, dolls, stamp collections, sewing machines, wedding dresses, building materials, windows, artwork, antique furniture, fridges, stoves, tents, dog kennels (but not dogs - NO advertising ANY animals in the classifieds whether they are free or not - if you have a pet try Pets4Sale - an Australian pet classified site ), printers, computers, used DVD discs and cassette tapes, fish tanks, musical instruments, and a whole lot more. Have you got something lying around that someone else could use? Give it away instead of throwing it away.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO MEMBERS - if you are asked to pay for shipping of an item in advanced think twice before sending funds or giving financial details. This is common practice for online scammers. A safer option is have the item sent 'cash on delivery'. If you see an item advertised here and you feel it not genuine please let us know by clicking on the user name of the ad owner and clicking 'Report User'. We will take the approriate actions.
You Can Help!
With members Australia wide and new members joining each day we hope to reduce the number of useful things thrown onto the rubbish pile only to be burnt or buried. You can help by becoming a member , inviting your friends and family , telling your local council and using the Oz Recycle Free Recycle Classifieds yourself to give away unwanted items or to give a new home to unwanted items.
How Does Oz Recycle Work?
Have Something You Don't Need?
Do you have something laying around that you think you no longer need or
are thinking about throwing away? Perhaps you are de-cluttering your
home and find a lot of stuff that is too good to throw away? You may
find someone within the OzRecycle community who needs it. Simply post it
to the OzRecycle classifieds in the Free To Take Away categories or check the Items Wanted
categories. Any member who is interested in taking your unwanted item will
be in contact with you. The only condition on this is your item MUST BE FREE!
By giving the item away you are helping our environment by not throwing
the item into a landfill site and reducing the need to manufacture.
Need Something?
Are you looking for something? One of the OzRecycle community members
may have something you need. You can post an ad to the Items Wanted
categories and if another community member has what you are looking for
they will be in contact with you. This way you are helping our
environment by giving a new home to an item which would more than likely
be thrown away.
How Do You Save?
By using the OzRecycle site you can save on tip fees by giving away an item or by getting an item
for free. You are also decreasing the impact on our environment by saving precious resources used for disposal of landfill and by
decreasing the need to manufacture.
