FREECYCLE
The Freecycle Network™ is made up of

It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit
movement of people who are giving (and
getting) stuff for free in their own
towns. It's all about reuse and keeping
good stuff out of landfills.
Each local group is moderated by local
volunteers (them's good people).
Membership is free.

How to Learn About
How Freecycle Works
Have you heard about Freecycle and wondered
what it was all about? There are already
over 8+ million members in over 4,000 local
groups globally!
The Network provides individuals and non-profits
an electronic forum to "recycle" unwanted items.
One person's trash can truly be another's treasure!
Freecycle's mission is to build a worldwide gifting
movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources
& eases the burden on our landfills while enabling
our members to benefit from the strength of a larger
community.
This cycle of giving helps ease reliance on consumerism
while building local community and keeping usable item
out of the landfill.
You can get to know members online and in person, if
you choose, and develop closer ties to your local
community.
In 2005, 100 million tons were saved from the landfill
due to the efforts of local Freecycle members. "One
gift at a time" has made a huge impact globally!
