The concept is simple: you have something you no longer need (a sofa, desk, CD, books) and you wish to "recycle" it for no money in return. Recycle Boulder Valley is the place you can post notices about items you'd like to give away, or, post for items you may need. The only requirement is the transfer of an item has to be FREE. Trades and Bartering will be allowed provided there are no abuses; no money may change hands.

The RBV group has a sister group, Recycle Boulder Valley Cafe, where you can chat online with group members. Post your garage sale, job offers or need, borrow from the "borrow me" file, etc. We've helped needy families, helped each other, and found great information! Please take a minute to join our CAFE group!

On to the Nuts and Bolts of Recycle Boulder Valley:
1) Begin all subject lines with either "OFFERED", "WANTED", or "TAKEN", "TRADE," "BARTER". If you have posted a WANTED and received the item, PLEASE take a minute to post a "RECEIVED" message, so the group knows a need has been met and the gift is acknowledged.

2) Include a general location where something can be picked up in your post.

3) Things are to be free.

4) Your first post needs to be an Offer. After that keep the Wanteds to a minimum.

5) If you are interested in an item, reply directly to the person offering.

6) No alcohol, guns, medicines, or adult-only type posts.

7) Pick-up. Make arrangements best suited to each person. If you can't pick up at the arranged time, notify the offeror. NoShows will be listed in the database.

8) Animals: Our group voted to allow animal posts. Please use this privilege responsibly. Consider a shelter instead.

Keep the sharing alive, and thanks for recycling! Group Moderators
