First Freecycle
After joining our local Freecycle group in June last year we finally rolled our sleeves up to start the new year and freecycled.
Rather than shedding some of the useful items we still have kicking around we took the plunge and liberated an old lawnmower. Our own mower is a modern piece of orange plastic and it isn’t particularly good, so we leapt at the chance to recycle a piece of old English engineering.
What we effectively rescued from the landfill is a Qualcast Superlite Panther, a lawnmower that we can only guess to be around 30 or 40 years old. It’s one of those old cylinder style hand mowers so it only needs a push in order to work. No electricity, no petrol. How green is that?
Sure it’s a bit rusty and more than a little dusty, but it seems to be in good working order. Only when the -10 temperatures have gone and we’re into the spring will we know for definite, but all in all “it’s a lot less bover than a hover”.
Now all we have to do is Freecycle the bright orange Flymo.
