Welcome to Freecycle! (and Guidelines & Disclaimer)

Our goal is to keep usable items out of the landfill.

Here are the basic Freecycle guidelines:

For Rules & Etiquette, please click on the 'Notices' Link 

KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. No alcohol, tobacco, firearms or other weapons, profanity or sexual content, medications - Never send money for anything offered on Freecycle (this includes money for shipping/couriers); - All copyrighted material must be the original media

NO SWAPS/TRADING PLEASE. Go to your local swap/trading organization for this.

NO PERSONAL ADS.

NO POSTS ABOUT ANIMALS FOR BREEDING OR FOOD PURPOSES. 

BE NICE. when you arrange to pick up an item from another Freecycle member please be punctual. Arrange pickup with one person only, rather than "It's on the porch, whoever gets here first gets it."  Also, only give your phone number to one person at a time or ask for the recipient's phone number. Otherwise you'll get swamped with phone calls.

DISCLAIMER. FREECYCLE(R) NETWORK MEMBERS USE THE LIST AT THEIR OWN RISK. Please take reasonable measures to protect your safety and privacy when posting to the list or participating in an exchange. By joining the list, you agree to hold neither the list owners, moderators nor anyone affiliated with Freecycle.org responsible or liable for any circumstance resulting from a Freecycle-related exchange or communication.

SAFETY. Be aware! It is up to each individual member of Freecycle when arranging for pickup of the item being given away to be appropriately aware of the potential risk of having "a stranger" come to your home to pick something up. Freecycle as an organization assumes no responsibility for this risk. If you, for example, are living alone, you may want to say that you'll leave the item on the front porch while you are not home or arrange for a drop-off at a public place. That should just about do it.
