Welcome to Story County Freecycle (TM)!

Our goal is to reduce waste by connecting people who are throwing away unwanted items with others seeking the same items (and have a little fun in the process). No item is too big or too small; but since this is a Freecycle group, ALL items must be 100% (that's right, you got it) free.

Freecycle lies somewhere between the garage sale and the dump, and is much cooler than either. It's an innovative concept that harnesses the power of the Internet to do what the Internet does best -- eliminate the middleman and empower the individual. Unlike traditional charitable organizations that accept people's castoffs and sell them for low prices in unappealing shops (or end up taking them to the dump anyway), Freecycle allows for personal contact between donor and recipient -- each gets exactly what they want, and nobody is considered a 'charity case.' (Indeed, many Freecycle members both give and receive items on a regular basis.) It's a perfect consumer-friendly circle: no overhead, no intermediaries, no money changing hands, no waste and no catch, and everyone's happy.

Story County Freecycle serves the Central Iowa area; anyone willing to travel to Central Iowa to pick up your new treasures is more than welcome.

Please read the first thirteen messages and all ADMIN messages for group policies.

Story County Freecycle is modeled after the Tucson Freecycle Network. Find out more about the VERY fast-growing international Freecycle network at http://www.freecycle.org.
