Welcome to the Somerville Freecycle(TM) group.

All posts must be free:a chair,TV,piano,or an old door can be given away on the network. Or, maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself? Respond to the posting DIRECTLY & you just might get it. After that, it is up to the giver to set up a pickup time for passing on the item.

Enjoy

Paul/Mod

10)Successful 'recipients', please be considerate of 'givers' in that if you plan a date/time to pick up an item and cannot make it please notify the 'giver' to reschedule otherwise the item will be offered to runner-up(s). We all have busy lives so please do not expect scheduling times/days to be easy for either side.
