Hello everyone,

the Manchester, UK group of Freecycle is now here!!

Join this group, and say goodbye to time-consuming trips to the tip,
or worry and inconvenience over how to remove big items from your
home! Instead, have someone simply collect the things from you, and
also have the satisfaction of knowing that those things are
benefitting someone else who appreciates them, instead of mouldering
in the tip!

And vice versa; if you have something you need, be it for your home,
a hobby, or a charity, you can ask on Freecycle_Manchester_UK/ if
anyone has it to give you, instead of doing without or spending money
you needn't!

Freecycle Manchester UK - changing the world, one gift at a time!

Here is the URL to join:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Freecycle_Manchester_UK/

The URL is now also in the links page at Manchester Locals home page.

Please spread the word to all your friends in and around Manchester!!

The description on Freecycle Manchester UK's home page is as follows:

Freecycle -

the fun, rewarding way to recycle -

changing the world one gift at a time!

Give away your junk, or walk away with your free treasure ...

Whether it's an old sofa, an old toaster, some unwanted materials
from a discarded hobby, or, whatever,
there will be other members here who may need it! And, vice versa -
whatever you need, you can ask for
on this messageboard, to be given to you by other members FOR FREE!

This particular group is designed to serve Manchester, England.

If you would like to learn about the origination of freecycling, or,
would like to start a freecycle group in
your own town, please visit www.freecycle.org

POSTING REQUIREMENTS:

Keep It Free, Legal & Appropriate For All Ages.

Your Subject line of your email must begin with OFFER, TAKEN, WANTED
and RECEIVED. It
should look like this:

OFFER: old sofa

Once you have decided which poster to give the sofa to, please post
the following:

TAKEN: old sofa.

Don't be afraid to post an OFFER. You may be surprised what others
are in need of. If you have no
takers you may post again in one month.

WANTED postings should be kept to a minimum and should be realistic.
Posting for a new house or car
will look silly and possibly greedy to others.

Informational posts from myself will begin with ADMIN.

RESELLERS must disclose their intentions so OFFERers can decide if
they want the item to be resold.

APPOINTMENTS for collection. Everyone's time is valuable. If you make
an appointment, please keep
it. If you cannot, please ring to cancel.

DISCUSSIONS: This forum is not set up for discussions. If you have an
opinion/question/comment/concern, please contact me directly.

PLEASE DON'T THROW IT ON THE TIP! Advertise it here!

Remember, one person's junk, is another person's treasure!

Thank you for doing your part to keep treasures out of our landfills!
