FREECYCLE ETIQUETTE
If you're new to the group or want a quick refresher on making the most of freecycling, please read on! (Yes, this is a long message, but it contains essential knowledge for all freecycle members and will answer MANY common new-user questions, so please take the time to read through it.)

We ask that you put your general location in your OFFER or WANTED e-mail. Also, we have added the rule that there are to be no repeat postings more than once a month. I think this will help keep us all a little saner so that we all don't keep seeing all those repeats.
NEW POSTING RULES
1. Two (2) wanted posts per member per *calendar* week (Sun - Sat) - Every
Sunday starts a new week.

2. No repeated "wanteds" in the same calendar month (as opposed to
30 days). So if you "want" something March 15th, you can ask for
the item again April 1....but not again until May 1.

3. Offers are always welcome. As many as you like.


1) NO POLITICS & NO SPAM. Two strikes & you're out.

2) SUBJECT LINE
Use these phrases and be sure to add your town:
OFFER: old couch
TAKEN: old couch
WANTED: old couch. [Please use this one sparingly]


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

4) KEEP IT FREE.

5) NO TRADING PLEASE.

6) FYI: RESPONSES GO ONLY TO OFFERER. It keeps down the sheer # of e-mails.

7) PICK UP. arrange as you like,
