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. Here are the basic Freecycle guidelines: 1.
This means, for example: - No alcohol, tobacco, firearms or other weapons, profanity or sexual content, medications of any kind, including over-the-counter supplements, vitamins, etc. Numerical limits on Wanted posts vary by local Town group.
It can be quite fun. Posting oneself or another person from the human species is not allowed. There are many fine Internet dating sites better suited to this purpose.
Beyond this, some Town groups do allow non-breeding-related posts to find new homes for pets, but ask that it be kept legal and lovingly careful. Other Town groups prefer not to allow pet postings. 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. 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. Consider giving your starving local charity preference if one should respond. 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.
