Freecycle and similar websites

I've been busy decluttering in the last few days - its so satisfying. There seem to be a lot of nursery schools that want to ditch plastic in the classrooms and use items made from natural materials or recycled stuff.
Today I said Goodbye to 4 boxes of kitchen crockery, cutlery, tools, ornaments and bric-a-brac.  They were collected by a teacher, her 2 young sons and, best of all, their 13 week old Cavalier puppy who came into the house and explored! Didn't dare let my 3 hooligans out to meet her. The 2 boys took a pile of old coins, stamps and 2 tins of buttons.
Yesterday, another teacher collected wicker baskets and old street maps and atlases.
I've also given away the 12 piece china dinner and tea set that was my Grandmother's -  she gave it to me when I got married. Parting with that was difficult but it went to a local charity that are having a tea party to raise money to support parents of babies born too early.
As they say, one person's junk is another one's treasure.

EDIT - Reminded by Spec's thread - I've given away a collection of old phones. Apparently, classrooms have a "talking corner" where they use the phones!!

That’s lovely Veggie, think of all the pleasures your junk will bring to others.
