San Diego-specific guidelines (in addition to the basic Freecycle guidelines)

Please be mindful that there are over 9900 members (as of March 2024) in this group, and a not insignificant amount of us receive email notifications of new posts - or would like to, ideally.

NO REPOSTING. Never falsely mark your post as taken or received, or cancel your post, post it again, before it would have naturally expired (90 days for OFFER or WANTED). After your offered item is no longer in your possession & you don't expect it will return, you may mark it as taken. After your wanted item is received & you don't expect you will need to replace it due to a defect, you may mark it as received. If you obtain items that multiply those you already have a post for, you may edit your active post instead of deleting and/or creating a duplicate of it.

NO CROSS-STATE/COUNTRY POSTING. If you are in any incorporated city or unincorporated area within San Diego County, CA, you may post here. If you are in another county, please post in that county, not here.

NO PERSONAL/EMOTIONAL DETAILS. Explanations like these can make members feel guilted into gifting and also give predators a lot of information. With no strings attached, we mean no strings. Feel free to just ask for what you want or need, without personal/emotional details.
