Its part of a Worldwide Freecycle(TM) Network that is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Membership is free and all listings are absolutely *FREE* and in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada. Let's help each other with re-useable items and at the same time be kind to Our Mother Earth!
There are only a few important rules of etiquette:
1: Everything must be completely *FREE* No Trading, No Bartering, and No Money. AND NO SPAM!
2: All items must be Legal, Safe and Appropriate for all ages. For example, no knives, weapons, drugs or medications, or adult material (explicit or not). One Strike and you're out!
3: Please respond to the author of the posts to respect privacy and to cut down on the the number of emails & posts sent to the whole group. And please don't put your phone number or address in the posts to the whole group for safety and privacy reasons.
4: PLEASE post whether you WANT something or have something to OFFER (ie.wanted, need, looking for, offering, to be taken, etc) IN the subject line to avoid confusion. A good subject line must tell whether you want or are offering an object, and what the object is; for example: "WANTED: small tank for turtle" or "OFFERED: green skidoo suit, XL" or "TO BE TAKEN: black kitchen table with 3 chairs".
5: Disclaimer: Use at Own Risk. By joining, you agree that Freecycle Airdrie and it's parent organization (Freecycle.Org) cannot be held liable or accountable for any ill effects perceived from use of this forum. However, PLEASE! Immediately contact the moderator of this group for any concerns you may have as inappropriate use cannot be tolerated, and every effort will be made to help protect the safety and integrity of our group!
Thanks and Have Fun!
