The reason that Im asking is that other Freecycle moderators are puzzled over it.
Freecycle is the international recycling organisation trying to geep usable stuff out of landfill, as an example of how it works..
I have an old 28" CRT TV, it still works fine but I'm replacing it with a nice new 50" flat screen TV.
Rather than take the old one to the tip I offer it on Freecycle, someone asks me for it & I choose who to give it to, they come to my house and collect it.
In this situation noone is an employer and nothing is traded, no money or services are passed.
Another situation would be where a community event is held, where a Freecycle table is and members can bring old usable stuff or others to collect.
Still the same, no exchanges, no money, no employers.
Some have been told by trading standards that they need, some have been told that they do not.
So I'm trying to find what laws apply, what legal basis there is for PAT testing if any.
Cheers.
