Idea of the Day: Freecycling
From time to time, we’ll throw out an “Idea of the Day” culled from sources here in Arizona and elsewhere. The following idea is called “Freecycling,” and here’s what it’s all about:
[Source: Bruce Stirling, Freecycle Phoenix Moderator] — Freecycle Phoenix is one of the top six Freecycle Network groups in the world (with over 14,200 participants). Freecycle Phoenix was created to help save landfills. Help others by giving away your things. All offers must be free. Enjoy giving away things you no longer need. Your gifts really make a difference in others’s lives, and they help our landfills, too. Old cars, appliances, chairs, boats, furniture, beds, computers, TVs, and more… give them away at Freecycle.
The rules are simple: you give away your stuff:
- No animals
- No selling, trading, or advertising
- Nothing illegal (no software, no copied music)
- All items must be rated “G”
- No chatting
- No services
- All members must make first post an “offer.”
- “Wanted” posts limited to one per month per member, unless accompanied by an “offer.”
- Using the Freecycle Phoenix site constitutes your express agreement to be bound by User and Privacy Policy.
- Membership is approved only if you tell your neighborhood or zip code.
