The worldwide Freecycle Network™ is a grassroots movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is run by volunteer moderators (them's good people).

The BeverlyMA Freecycle™ group is open to all in Beverly and surrounding communities who would rather recycle something than throw it away. Let's reduce, reuse and recycle - making our environmental footprint smaller and keeping things out of the landfill, while helping our neighbors!

One main rule: everything posted must be free. Outside of that, be courteous, post often, and have fun!

Brief guidelines (complete guidelines can be found in the Files section of the group):

Keep it free, legal, and rated G.

Be descriptive in your subject lines:

OFFER: doohickey(Your General Location)

TAKEN: whatsits

WANTED: thingamajig (Your General Location)

RECEIVED: thingamajig

ADMIN: Used (sparingly) by moderators to share important information with the group

Also, consider joining our companion cafe group, North Shore Cafe. It's a little different than the main group - it's a place for members to hang out and chat, as well as barter, trade and look for advice.

This group is part of The Freecycle Network™, a nonprofit organization and a movement of people interested in keeping good stuff out of landfills.
