It is your responsibility to ensure you are not breaking any laws in offering or getting goods through Freegle. When something can be reused for its original purpose, freegling it is fine (it's what we're for!) but if it would legally count as waste (e.g. a mixture of low economic value which would require sorting), you must not freegle it. If in doubt, check [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-your-material-is-waste here] on GOV.UK.
