Welcome to the Hong Kong Freecycle (TM) Network!

The goal of the Hong Kong Freecycle Network is to reduce waste by connecting local people who are throwing away goods with others who are seeking the same goods. Whether you're looking to discard or acquire an item, you've come to the right place.

NOTE: This group is only for people residing in Hong Kong. If you don't live in Hong Kong then you can still join a Freecycle group that covers your residency area. Visit http://www.freecycle.org for more information.

FREECYCLE ETIQUETTE

1) KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES.

OFFER: old couch. [Offering more than 1 thing? Still keep it in 1 e-mail, please]
TAKEN: old couch
WANTED: old couch. [Please use this sparingly and don't offer money]
ADMIN: new ideas, thoughts, etc. like can we get the guy with the couches to ease up?

3) NO POLITICS, NO SPAM, NO MONEY. Two strikes & you're out.

4) YOUR APPROXIMATE LOCATION: Try to list this in the body of your e-mail.

5) KEEP IT ALL IN ONE E-MAIL. Got more than one thing to give away? Keep it all in one e-mail please and just number the items for your own clarity.

6) CAN WE USE FREECYCLE TO FIND NEW HOMES FOR PETS? Yes, keep it legal & be lovingly careful.

7) NO TRADING PLEASE.

8) RESPONSES GO ONLY TO OFFERER. It keeps down the sheer no. of e-mails.

9) PICK UP. Arrange as you like, generally, 1st responded, 1st served, if a charity responds, you may want to give them the 1st shot. Arrange pickup with one person only. Also: only give your phone number to one person at a time or ask for the recipient's phone no. Otherwise you'll get swamped with phone calls.
