Seems misleading. Just say it’s trash nothing. This does not connect to any of my freecycle groups. Delete so you can’t track me.
This is NOT connected to Freecycle in any way. When I posted and it said my items would be posted on the “Chicago Freecycle” group I assumed it would be syncing with that group. Nope. Just stayed on this useless app that no one uses.
wont let me verify my account. Every time i click the link sent to me in the verification email it just takes me to TrashNothingFreecycle and then still says i need to verify.
Freecycle was such an awesome app, they should’ve left it by itself. Now that they have merged it with Trash Nothing the quality of TrashNothingFreecycle is horrible. Even if you put a wide range of areas and groups there still isn’t anything new posted in days. I’m not sure who the moderator is, but this seriously needs to be revised.
I have been a freecycle member for years. I wondered if there was an app, so I searched the store. TrashNothingFreecycle is “Freecycle + Trash Nothing” — which I thought was strange. I downloaded it. When you open it, only “Trash Nothing” appears, and the logo isn’t the freecycle logo. I thought maybe the name change. But I couldn’t log in with my freecycle credentials. Had to create a new account. And they don’t seem linked. I have to post my items in both places. So I can only see my freecycle messages by being logged in in the website.
Reading messages is confusing. I world see an icon showing that I have a message. I clicked on the envelope icon, and everything there I had read. It took me a while to figure out that there’s a dropdown for different types of messages — re items you posted, items you’ve inquired about, notifications. That’s nice, but it’s not very clear.
TrashNothingFreecycle has always been fussy, but I can no longer coax it to retain a picture. “Use photo” button presents an empty listing. Killed app, restarted phone. No go. Have latest version of TN and iOS.
This one user posts everyday and makes a separate post for each piece of clothing they are giving away and it’s spamming TrashNothingFreecycle as well as my inbox. I want to block them.
1. It doesn’t seem to sync perfectly with Freecycle. I don’t see the same groups and posts in Freecycle vs. Trash nothing.
2. It would be awesome if it had a rating system for gifters and takers similar to OfferUp or Uber. There are some flaky people on here which unfortunately ruins the reputation of the Freecycle concept. there are folks who are super friendly and communicative to deal with and I’d rather give to them first.
I set my location, and if I scroll
For 2 seconds it will crash out and force me back to the screen for setting my locations and what groups I want to be a part of. I can’t even browse the posts before being asked if I want to set my zip code and the surrounding areas again. It makes it frustrating to use.
I’ve been using TrashNothingFreecycle for about a month now to help clear a friend’s house & I’ve been impressed with how useful it’s been! I know it’s not Freecycle but seems to work well in my area. However, I’ve been posting so many things that it’s easy to mix up who wanted what when I look at my inbox. I have to go into each person’s thread to figure it out. It would be great if they could somehow add a small picture of the item(s) you’ve promised that person (or that that person has replied about) for that person’s thread, so you know immediately at a glance when looking at the inbox what they wanted. Right now, I have to go into each person’s thread to remember what they wanted. so this would be a big help!
I also wish I could reach out to a larger community instead of just my Ellicott city Freecycle community.
I’ve had a few other issues with TrashNothingFreecycle , but this review is long enough, so stopping here. This is the major improvement I’d like to see!
Basically happy with TrashNothingFreecycle . But it’s not uncommon after I mark and item “promised” for several people to ask to get it if the person doesn’t show up. I’ve had that happen a lot and then when I reach back to the people who seemed to really want it to tell them in fact they can have it I never hear from them. So is this a problem with how TrashNothingFreecycle is set up so people aren’t seeing my follow up messages ? Or maybe it’s the people?
I’ve also dealt with really nice folks as well who respond quickly. So despite frustrations it is decent app for helping you declutter and keep things out of landfills.
Been a member for a while. I’ve used it to share my stuff with others and also picked up a few things. WIDE range of items out there.
Refuse, refuse, recycle.
The idea of it is wonderful but it’s not active in many areas so if you don’t find anything for your area simply invite friends.. family .. co-workers etc to join. One mans junk is another’s mans treasure. It’s a great way for people to help others and the environment which is win win so spread the word!
I love TrashNothingFreecycle. I love that you can post things you just want gone and they’ll speak for themselves. Yes you’re making no money on it but you also don’t have to worry about the issues that come with selling. Plus the peace of mind that what once was mine has found new homes instead of adding to the landfill. Would highly highly recommend TrashNothingFreecycle
This has been a life saver a few times. People should use it more!
Excellent app for getting what I need and giving things I don’t.
I would recommend this to all.
Good job!👍🏼👏🏼
I give it a 5 stars ratings.
Not sure why so many people feel the need to rate a perfectly good app one star because it has the same name as another program. You’d think one or two would be enough for people to get the idea lol
Anyways, great app! Pretty easy to scroll through, add cities, message, etc. My only complaint is that when I first got TrashNothingFreecycle , when I was at the middle/bottom I would click on a post and then sometimes when I went back it would bring me all the way to the top again. But after seeing all old posts that shouldn’t be an issue that comes up again, so no biggie.
TrashNothingFreecycle and website are great!
I really appreciate how easy trash nothing is to use and to set to my preferences. Other groups for giving things away in our area are hard to navigate, because they aren’t logically sorted and are often clogged with items that have already been gifted. With trash nothing, I can easily choose to look at items within my desired distance that are still available, and it shows me the ones that I haven’t seen yet first. Seems obvious and intuitive, but makes a huge difference and is executed well here.
This is a great tool for keeping your items out of the landfill and for giving new life to used things.
Works wonderfully, same access to settings and other features that exist on desktop
