Freecyclers Reunited in Aberdare
November 14, 2006
Freecycler Robert Grady is reunited with something special…
Retired railway worker Robert Grady was surprised to find a FREE railway manual offered on his local Rhondda Cynon Taff freecycling group.
Freecycling is way of recycling things for free - free + recycle - using the Internet. Aberdare’s local freecycling group is now nearly two years old with nearly 700 members.
As a conductor working across the Valleys railway lines, Robert carried this manual, and others, as part of his every day work load. “It’s a specialist manual called the National Routeing Guide so I was surprised to find it being freecycled,” said Robert.
“My wife Caroline and I learned to freecycle from my children… and we prefer to recycle rather than bin things… it’s such a waste.”
“We caught the train today. It was great to visit Aberdare once again.”
