Verwood Freecycle

VoW Pop Up Surgery

Our forth Freecycle event will take place on Sunday 2 June 2024 in celebration of World Environment day.  

​

The aim is easy. Have a clear out. Display your freebies outside of your gate or in your driveway (keeping the highway clear) for 10am until 4pm and watch people smile as they find treasure.

​

To register for the Freecycle event please complete this link.  https://forms.gle/Wd4EsNj1q9smrzdf9 

​

Nothing to clear out?  Why not go treasure hunting yourself? A map will be published a few days before the event.

​

Adults and children's clothes can be swapped. Shoes taken but they must be as new.
