This is the Jackson, Michigan Freecycle group. We cover Jackson/Jackson County and all outlying areas.
The goal of the Freecycle™ program is to reduce waste by connecting people who are throwing away goods with others who are seeking them -- furniture, clothing, appliances and all the little things in between.
We do have a few rules to participate in the group. In short:
1) At some point everyone should try to make an OFFER, even if it's old magazines or boxes from a recent move.
2) Keep it free, legal appropriate for all ages. No alcohol, tobacco, firearms or prescription drugs. No trading, borrowing or offering to buy.
3) Subject line should start with one of four words:
Offer, Want, Taken (after an Offer) or Received (after a Want). For example:
OFFER: old couch
WANT: old couch
Do not use Pending.
Either in the subject line or the message, include your general location such as “located near the mall.” No personal details that don't relate to what you are asking for.
4) NO chit-chat, advice, requests for information or announcing of web links or yahoo mailing lists. Please do not ask for tickets, coupons, codes, points, etc. No general requests for "food".
5) One Wanted list per day, except on Wed. Repeat "wants" are limited to once every two weeks.
6) Be realistic. Do you really think you'll get a Hummer or Big Screen TV or Wii??
The moderators have the right to delete any Offer or Wanted that they feel is not in the best interest of Jackson Freecycle.
