The worldwide Freecycle Network is made up of many individual groups across the 
globe. It's a grassroots movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff 
for free in their own towns. 

This Twitter feed is powered by a program that polls the Freecycle Newham page 
at regular intervals (every five minutes) and tweets any new messages to the 
@FreecycleNewham Twitter account. I wrote it because there is currently no 
official Twitter feed for Freecycle and I thought it would be a useful thing to 
have. It is an unofficial application and is not endorsed or supported by the 
Freecycle organisation.

For Developers:

https://github.com/adamshone/Freecycle-Newham

The code is provided for reference only. You don't need to run it yourself, 
there is already an instance running - just follow @FreecycleNewham for the 
latest posts. The application will in any case not run unless you add the oAuth 
properties for a real Twitter application to the twitter4j.properties 
configuration file.
