Description
Got stuff?
The Buffalo Grove Freecycle™ Network (serving Buffalo Grove, IL, USA) is open to anyone who wants to recycle that special something rather than throw it away or sell it. Whether it's a chair, piano or an old door, post it online with BG Freecycle Network.
Want stuff?
Maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself! Take that lamp, bed frame, or coffee table off someone else's hands.
The catch
Tangible goods may be OFFERs or WANTEDs; services cannot.
The "Free" in "Freecycle" means everything must be completely FREE only - no trades, money, or strings of any kind attached, includes borrowing and lending. It's a gift, pure and simple.
The "cycle" in "Freecycle" is short for recycle, and it shows the real intent - to reuse PHYSICAL, TANGIBLE items within our communities. (A quick guide: "tangible" means that "if you drop it on your toe, it might hurt.")
Visit the Freecycle Network for more information. "While part of the mission of The Freecycle Network is about keeping good stuff out of landfills, the other part is fostering local gifting communities. Money is not allowed for a reason. It's about letting go and helping others and ourselves in the process without any expectation of reciprocation."
