KateIs it worth trying to Freegle a landline phone or should I just bin it? Too late, just listed it and I'm about to find out (over the course of the next ten weeks or so). #FreegleWoes
I should add, I previously tried to Freegle a landline handset and that was unsuccessful, but I'm not sure how long the listing was actually up because Freegle has a habit of silently removing stuff. (I binned it when I tested it prior to re-listing and found it didn't work.)
Update: I Freegled the landline handset pretty easily!
Pete@griffinkate Got a Currys near by? https://toot.bike/@Seb/112043156087407920

There are probably some capitalist shenanigans going on but walking into Currys with some old house phones and walking out with 2x £5 vouchers is pretty cool If Halfords start doing that I'll lose my mind
@pete Oooh, I did NOT know that was a thing!
@griffinkate Neither did I till I serendipitously saw that post shortly after I saw yours.

@pete We all have the Hardware Pile of Doom...especially if you don't drive and the nearest Currys is somewhere hard to get to without a car...but I might just beg a lift!
@pete Currys were also doing styrofoam recycling collection at one point, but I have a nasty feeling it's only when you've literally bought the polystyrene-encased thing from them in the first place. I need to check it out...I really need to revive my blog so I can put this stuff online in a place where it's findable...
