Free Stuff Freally Available

An Australian based website wants to be the Ebay of free stuff while helping out the environment at the same time

Freally.com, the brainchild of Sydney-siders Eric Bae and Xiangwei Meng, allows users to post their unwanted possessions online so that anyone who wants them can arrange to pick them up.

The pair said they were inspired by the amount of unused and unwanted objects taking up space in their households.

“We looked around and just realised how much junk we had amassed over the years and we didn’t want to go through the hassle of selling them. But we thought there has to be someone who would want this,” said Bae.

“We tried a lot of other sites out there and realised each had its limitations. Some were quite outdated and very inconvenient in organising pick-ups while others were terrible when items were not collected. We wanted Freally to offer the best online recycling experience there is, and I think we made it quite close.”

In four months of operation the website has seen almost a thousand users sign up and given away everything from a glue stick to an electric keyboard.
