Freegle Whilst the numbers of items listed per month per group are quite low, there is a large number of groups (269) which means that the estimated number of annual listings is quite high (309,888). However the exchange rate for Freegle is estimated to be lower than for eBay and other sites, so that the estimated weight of material exchanged is only 691 tonnes. Freegle is used a lot for exchanging small electrical appliances. These are not listed below, as small electrical appliances generally are not classified as priority items for the purposes of this study. Mobile phones are included in the list. It is interesting to note that the number of small electrical appliances listed is 106,524, resulting in an estimated weight of items exchanged of 124 tonnes.

Figure A1.4 Total estimated tonnage exchanged per annum on Freegle Other IT, 101 Computer, 19 Mobile Phone, 0 TV, 38 Large electrical items (fridge, washing machine), 300 Sofa, 110 Desk, 100 Summary The estimated total tonnage of priority items exchanged per annum in the UK for the online exchange sites included in this study is summarised in the Table A1.6, with the same data detailed in Figure A1.5. It is worth noting that the weight of items exchanged on the local sites (e.g. Gumtree) is quite high, relative to use. Whilst eBay has by far the highest number of items listed, the items that are popular, both in terms of listings and subsequent exchanges, are generally small in size and weight and more likely to be posted to the buyer, whereas the sites with geographically specific groups are more likely to match buyers and sellers who can collect or deliver large items within their local area.
