What is Online Recyclers Network?

Online Recyclers Network is a FREE giveaway website to recycle all your unwanted items for free to people in your area. We make it simple for you to donate the stuff that is cluttering up your home rather than throw it away. This makes a small but crucial difference to the environment by reducing the growing problem of landfill.

The Online Recyclers Network website also makes it simple for you to find useful items in your area for free. Search for a particular item in your area  by category, or you can post a request, and if someone can help you, they will let you know.

How does it work?

Offer items: If you have an item you no longer need it, why not find a new owner for it. Simply Sign up or Login at the Online Recyclers Network  website, click 'offer items',  describe your item in a few words,  click 'Add Item'. It's a good idea to provide a picture as well, enroll in the right category and specify the right location, - this helps people find it during their search. If someone likes the item, they will contact you via the email of your choice to arrange collection.

Finding items: Use Online Recyclers Network to find a specific item in your area for free. Simply select 'looking for items',  type-in the item you're looking in the keyword box at the top of the page. Or, if you fancy a browse of what's on offer, search the categories in the menu to your left.

Request items: If your search returns 0 results, you still can post a request by clicking on 'here' word at the bottom of page ('If you cannot find the item what you looking for, you can post a request here'). Describe your item what you looking for, select the right category and your location. Please note that you cannot do more than one request per day.

Arranging collection: Once you've found an item you want, you simply send a quick email to the person donating the item to arrange for collection. If you donate, and someone takes your item, is recommended to delete from your items list as soon as possible. (under 'my account' -> 'my items')
