Welcome to Joliet Area Freedom

Everyone in the Joliet IL area is welcome.

Joliet Area Freedom was formerly "Joliet Area Freecycle" but we have left The Freecycle Network(TM) and are no longer affiliated in any way.

This group is run as democratically as possible to help our community and environment at the same time through saving reusable items from landfills and allowing free (truly free, the only strings that can be attached are literal and physical, like thread, twine, cord, rope, et cetera) offers to help local businesses, yard/garage sales and people looking for them.

There is only one requirement for membership, members must at least try to follow the rules, especially the important legality of taking responsibility for yourself and safety.

We still do not allow animals, advertisements involving money (that whole "free" thing, you know, members still cannot state on the group what they have for sale) or, of course, anything illegal.

Once you’ve joined the group, you will receive a welcome letter, a 'must read' file, and an 'Etiquette' file via e-mail. Please take a moment to read them through, as these contain the rules and legalities (and how to use this group).

These are also listed in our files section at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Joliet_Area_Freedom/files/

Thanks for keeping this one of the best groups around (and officially one of the top 2% of all Yahoo Groups), we hope you all have great experiences through the group.

Tell your friends! Tell your neighbors! Tell strangers on the street!
