Welcome to the HollandFreecycle!
1) KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. This means, for example, no pornography, alcohol, tobacco, drugs (of any kind, including all medicines, vitamins, creams, etc.), firearms or other weapons. Two strikes and you're out of the group. This is our main Freecycle rule to live by and it's a pretty easy one at that.
2) SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR POSTS. Use these phrases to make it easy for others to delete or view.
OFFER: Thingamajig (Your General Location)
TAKEN: Thingamajig
WANTED: Thingamajig, any condition. (Your General Location - please use this sparingly and don't offer money. And above all else, don't ask for an extravagant item like a diamond ring which we'd all like to have or the strike rule will kick in - see no. 1 above.)
RECEIVED: Thingamajig
ADMIN: new ideas, thoughts, etc. (Used by Owners and Mods, local policy dictates)
3) PLEASE DO NOT POST THE SAME "WANTED" POSTING MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH.
4) NO POLITICS, NO SPAM, NO MONEY, NO PERSONAL ATTACKS/RUDENESS, NO PROSELYTIZING/RELIGION. It's all about R-E-S-P-E-C- T. Two strikes & you're out, i.e. you will be unsubscribed by the moderator after two inappropriate postings.
5) YOUR APPROXIMATE LOCATION: Try to list this in the body of your e-mail as well as in the subject line. OFFER Couch (downtown). "I've got a couch and live downtown. Nearest intersection: Speedway and Stone."
6) KEEP IT ALL IN ONE E-MAIL. Got more than one thing to give away? Keep it all in one e-mail please and just number the items for your own clarity. This reduces the overall number of emails we all have to receive.
7) NO PET POSTINGS! No offers/wants/needs regarding anything to do with a living/breathing creature.
8) NO TRADING PLEASE. Go to your local trading organization for this. It can be quite fun. With Freecycle, though, there are no strings attached, just give it away now
9) RESPONSES GO ONLY TO OFFERER. It keeps down the sheer no. of emails.
10) PICK UP. Arrange as you like. Generally, you'll wait until you get a handful of responses or maybe overnight, and then you can pick whomever you like! That's half the fun. I always ask that people consider giving your starving local charity preference if one should respond. Arrange pickup with one person only, rather than "it's on the porch, whoever gets here first gets it." Otherwise you'll become the boo man pretty fast with your fellow Freecycle group members... Also: only give your phone number to one person at a time or ask for the recipient's phone no. Otherwise you'll get swamped with phone calls.
SAFETY. Be aware! 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. Freecycle as a organization assumes no responsibility for this risk. You may want to arrange to meet in a public place or leave the item on the front porch without mentioning whether or not you will be home at the time of pickup.
11) NO OFFERING YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILDREN. Posting oneself (or one's shy friends) is, I'm afraid, not allowed. There are many fine Internet dating sites better suited to this purpose, or you could try Craig's List or a Burning Man mixer (just kidding). Posting your kids is not on the menu either, no matter how crazy they make you sometimes. Try getting them involved in after-school band practice.
12) A BRIEF NOTE ON FREECYCLE ETIQUETTE: "Be nice." We are all volunteers and we've got a great little community here so when you arrange to pick up an item from another Freecycle member, it is basic good manners to accommodate them as much as possible in terms of scheduling, and then be punctual; they are, after all, giving you something you need and asking nothing in return except that you will show up when you say you will. (Leaving someone hanging is never a nice thing.) Also, unless the giver tells you otherwise, assume that they would like you to come by as soon as you can to take away the item; no more than three days after the offer is made is usual. (Think of it as The Three-day Rule.)
That should just about do it. Have Fun and Thank you for being a part of The Freecycle Network(TM)!
Regards,
Your HollandFreecycle Moderators

Offer: GE Refrigerator

Not for resale or scrap. It is old and well used but still works
good. It needs a new seal around the door and the bar is missing from
the inside storage area of the door. Some cleaning needed. Seal and
bar could probably be bought from an appliance store. We taped the
seal to the door and used a bungee cord in place of the bar. We got a
newer one so we do not need this one any more.
Preference given to those with definite, urgent need. Pick up south
side of Holland near downtown.

Needed: Toddler Bed Rail

Sun Dec 16, 2007 5:18 pm (PST)
Does anyone have a bedrail they could spare? I'm thinking about one
of those for toddlers that tucks between the matress and box spring.
I just found out that I am going to be watching my neighbor's kids
every weeknight for the next several weeks and need one for my spare
bed. I live on the north side of Holland and could pick up any
evening.
Thanks, Gale
