Welcome to Freecycle! Southampton Town group matches people who have things they need to get rid of with people who can use them. Our goal is to keep usable items out of landfill/ incineration. By using what we already have on this earth, we reduce consumerism, manufacture fewer goods, and lessen the impact on the earth. Another benefit of using Freecycle.org is that it encourages us to get rid of junk that we no longer need and promotes community involvement in the process. Good luck, have fun & thank you for keeping good stuff out of the incineration/landfill!
*This is the link to the SOUTHAMPTON TOWN GUIDELINES. Please have a read through- we have a flourishing group and these Guidelines keep us running smoothly and safely. We especially ask you to look at how the location section of a post is completed, many of our members have requested this. The link to the Guidelines is

* SUPPORT with using Freecycle.
1. See https://freecycle.org/pages/MemberFAQ
2. There is a green ? button on the right of the home screen with more information.
3. Moderators are available to support with any specific concerns/ queries- contact using the Contact Moderators tab on “my messages”.
*These are the BASIC FREECYCLE GUIDELINES:
1. Keep it free, legal and appropriate for all ages.
2. No politics, no spam, no money, no personal attacks/ rudeness or proselytizing.
3. No swaps/ trading. Go to your local swap/trading organization for this. It can be quite fun.
5. No personal ads. Posting oneself or another person from the human species is not allowed. There are many Internet dating sites better suited to this purpose.
6. Be nice. A brief note on Freecycle etiquette: we are all volunteers and we've got a great little community here so when you arrange to pick up an item from another Freecycle member, it is basic good manners to accommodate them as much as possible in terms of scheduling, and then be punctual; they are, after all, giving you something you need and asking nothing in return except that you will show up when you say you will. Also, unless the giver tells you otherwise, assume that they would like you to come by as soon as you can to take away the item.
8. Pick up. Arrange as you like. Generally, you'll wait until you get a handful of responses or maybe overnight, and then you can pick whomever you like! That's half the fun.

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.
Thank you for being a part of The Freecycle Network! Regards, Your local Freecycle.org Moderators
