'''Flytipping''' – In 2019 Freegle saved £167,910 in preventing fly-tipping.  A couple of statisticians at DEFRA did some pro bono work for us in July 2020. They estimated the cost of the fly-tipping we have prevented; the report is here: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1drC7kpPQy-JjVKJtb15d4Vog2o-2C1VB?usp=sharing]
'''Weight Statistics''' – There are several stages to our estimates:
*We started with the 2009 Furniture Reuse Network estimates, which we then expanded to include some estimates for non-furniture items.
*We use these to estimate the weight of items diverted from the waste stream, and use a weighted average (no pun intended) value to give an estimate for other items.
*We then use the WRAP Benefits of reuse tool to convert that weight to a CO2 and monetary estimate.  The tools is mentioned in the report here [https://preprod.wrap.org.uk/sites/default/files/2020-09/WRAP-Domestic%20Furniture%20chapter_final_1.pdf] and is available here: [https://www.wrap.ngo/resources/tool/benefits-of-reuse-tool]

Community – You can find statistics about your community on ModTools Dashboard. The number of members your community has is on the website homepage and also on Members>Approved.


Councils – Freegle has a toolkit on the website which provides lots of information for local councils: https://councils.ilovefreegle.org/


Members – Members can also see statistics for their community by clicking on 'stats' on the community homepages. The bar charts and line charts cover a year; the pie charts, a month.


Flytipping – In 2019 Freegle saved £167,910 in preventing fly-tipping. A couple of statisticians at DEFRA did some pro bono work for us in July 2020. They estimated the cost of the fly-tipping we have prevented; the report is here: [1]


Weight Statistics – There are several stages to our estimates:

  • We started with the 2009 Furniture Reuse Network estimates, which we then expanded to include some estimates for non-furniture items.
  • We use these to estimate the weight of items diverted from the waste stream, and use a weighted average (no pun intended) value to give an estimate for other items.
  • We then use the WRAP Benefits of reuse tool to convert that weight to a CO2 and monetary estimate. The tools is mentioned in the report here [2] and is available here: [3]

This is an area which is sorely lacking in standardised data, but this is about the best we've found.


Survey

In January 2024 a small survey was conducted for Freegle users. The survey attracted 76 respondents (microvolunteers), was run via Google forms and covered a variety of basic questions. The results were posted on Central in April 2024: [4]
