The Volunteer Moderators welcome you to the Fremont California Chapter of the Freecycle(TM) Network, where our goal is to keep usable tangible items out of the landfills.

Membership is by request, and is limited to residents of Fremont and adjoining communities, and those that work or visit regularly.

YOU MUST REPLY to the VERIFICATION EMAIL to join, so please CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER for this email if you don't see it.

PLEASE READ and FOLLOW the complete posting guidelines, which can be found at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fremont-freecycle/files/ under Fremont Freecycle Etiquette, in text, PDF, and Word docs

KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. This means, for example, no alcohol, tobacco, firearms or drugs - legal or otherwise. This is our main Freecycle rule to live by, and it's a pretty easy one at that.

Hints for new posters:

Correct subject lines are MANDATORY - i.e:

OFFER: item; TAKEN: item.

WANTED: item; RECEIVED: item - Please limit wanted items to 5 per month (including repeats, which are limited to every 7 days or 2x a month)

You can use Freecycle to find a home for pets, if done legally & responsibly - NO wanted posts for pets or for breeding purposes.

PICK UP is determined by the person making an OFFER.

SAFETY: It is up to each individual member of Freecycle when arranging for pickup of the item being given away to be appropriately aware of the potential risk of having "a stranger" come to your home to pick something up.

DISCLAIMER: FREECYCLE NETWORK MEMBERS USE THE LIST AT THEIR OWN RISK. Please take reasonable measures to protect your safety and privacy when posting to the list or participating in an exchange. By joining the list, you agree to hold neither the list owners and moderators nor anyone affiliated with Freecycle.org responsible or liable for any circumstance resulting from a Freecycle-related exchange or communication.

Thanks for Freecycleing!
