Why blog? And a little about us.

e-cycled.com has been around for more than a year now. We now have regular visitors to the site and every day there are new listings for items to give away to new homes. We thought it would be great to have a place where we talk about why people should think about "e-cycling", interesting thoughts and tips for reducing the amount of gear in your life and also to get some feedback from the users of e-cycled.com.

About e-cycled.com
If you are interested in finding out a bit more about us, check out this page here.

We are two friends who started the site when Cameron needed to move homes and had a load of furniture that needed to be discarded quickly. Not wanting to put the stuff on the street (which is illegal), and not finding a suitable alternative that would allow him to get rid of the stuff as fast as he would like, e-cycled.com was born. It is a way to hook up people who want to get rid of things with people who can give these items a new lease on life.

In our opinion it has a host of benefits such as:
* Environment: Reducing the amount of usable "waste" that makes it to landfill, and therefore reducing your environmental footprint
* Declutter: It allows you to get rid of excess stuff in your house that you might be holding on to simply because you haven't known how to get rid of it.
* Save money: You can pick up some amazing things from e-cycled.com for FREE! Remember, what is someone else's trash might be your treasure.

We really hope that e-cycled.com and other services like it help people to view their old furniture, computers, whitegoods, clothes etc etc differently. That they may be junk to you but that doesn't mean they can't find a home elsewhere and be saved from landfill.

Happy e-cycling!
