Freecycled carpet

We've used our local Freecycle group for a good while now. So far we've only used it to give away things we no longer need, however there are just as many 'wanted' posts on there as there are 'offered' posts.

So, spurred on by the fact that people ask for all sorts of things from cardboard boxes to furniture, I thought that it might be worth a shot adding a 'wanted' post for old carpet/rugs for the new allotment.

Well in the 24 hours that have passed since this post on freecycle, I've now had 4 emails from kind local souls who seem only too keen for someone to come and take their old rolls of carpet and tatty old rugs off them! Result. Having cashed in a favour from a friend with a car, a collection round has been arranged and tomorrow we will have the beginnings of an allotment-sized amount of old carpet. Wonderful!
