Dear Freecycle(TM) Member,
Thanks for being a part of The (ever-expanding) Freecycle Network. We're
changing the world one gift at a time! This message is sent to all subscribers
upon joining, and periodically thereafter to the entire list. If this message
hasn't been updated since the last time you read it, feel free to move on to the
next post. Date of last update: 14 June 2006
If you're new to the group or want a quick refresher on making the most of our
Freecycle group, please read on! This message contains essential knowledge for
all Freecycle members and will answer MANY common new-user questions, so please
take the time to read it through.
This Freecycle group matches people who have things they need to get rid of with
people who can use them. Our goal is to keep usable items out of the landfill.
By using what we already have on this earth, we reduce consumerism, manufacture
fewer goods, and lessen the impact on the earth. Another benefit of using
Freecycle is that it encourages us to get rid of junk that we no longer need and
promote community involvement in the process. Free your inner pack rat!
Begun on June 11 2006, the Singleton Freecycle group is a branch of an
incredibly fast-growing international Freecycle movement, which began in Tucson,
AZ on May 1st, 2003 and now boasts thousands of groups all over the world.
Please help this group grow by spreading the word!
We all personally know lots of great people in our community who would love this
idea. So, why not "pay it forward" and tell 3 (or more) people how wonderful
Freecycle is! You tell your friends, you family, your neighbors, your
co-workers...and they tell theirs, and so on, and so on...well, you get the
idea!

along with other related recycling-related sites by visiting the Singleton main

The following list rules have been adapted from the original Freecycle etiquette
sheet; For a refresher, read on. A certain structure definitely makes the group
run smoothly and effectively for everyone's benefit. Remember, the success of
this group depends on all of us, and that means each of us need to do our best
to keep on task and, well, be nice and patient. Good Luck, Have Fun & Dive on
In!
FREECYCLE RULES & ETIQUETTE
1) KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. This means, for example, no
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms or Drugs, legal or otherwise. Two strikes and you're
outta the group. This is our main Freecycle rule to live by and it's a pretty
easy one at that. No advertising your yard sale, though, as you're looking for
money and that isn't free...
2) SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR POSTS. Use these phrases to make it easy for others to
delete or view:
OFFER: loveseat, downtown. [Offering more than 1 thing? Still keep it in 1
e-mail, please]
TAKEN: loveseat
WANTED: loveseat, any condition. [Please use this sparingly and don't offer
money. And above all else, don't ask for an extravagant item like a DVD player
which we'd all like to have or the strike rule will kick in - see #1 above. ]
ADMIN: new ideas, thoughts, etc. like can we get the guy with the couches to
ease up?
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. 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 e-mails we all have to receive.
7) CAN WE USE FREECYCLE TO FIND NEW HOMES FOR PETS? Yes, keep it legal & be
lovingly careful. However, posts about pets for breeding purposes are NOT
allowed in Freecycle groups.
8) NO TRADING PLEASE. Go to your local trading organization for this. It can be
quite fun.
9) RESPONSES GO ONLY TO OFFERER. It keeps down the sheer number of e-mails.
10) PICK UP. Arrange as you like. Generally, you'll wait until you get a handful
of responses or maybe overnite, 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 number. Otherwise you'll get swamped with phone calls.
11) DISCLAIMER: FREECYCLE NETWORK MEMBERS USE THE LIST AT THEIR OWN RISK. Please
take reasonable measures to protect your safety and privacy when posting to the
list or participating in an exchange. By joining the list, you agree to hold
neither the list owners and moderators nor anyone affiliated with Freecycle.org
responsible or liable for any circumstance resulting from a
Freecycle-related exchange or communication.
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 listserv assumes no responsibility for this risk.
If you, for example, are a single woman living alone, you may want to say that
you'll leave the item on the front porch while you are not home.
12) NO OFFERING/POSTING 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.
13) A BRIEF NOTE ON FREECYCLE ETIQUETTE: "Be nice." 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.)
TIPS TO ORGANIZE ALL OF THE NEW E-MAILS YOU ARE GETTING:
a) CREATE A SEPARATE E-MAIL FOLDER & AUTOMATICALLY HAVE FREECYCLE STUFF GO TO
IT. Create a separate folder in your Outlook Express & have Freecycle stuff sent
to it automatically with a new rule under tools/message rules/mail/
b) SET TO "DAILY DIGEST" OR "SPECIAL NOTICES" (which means you'll just browse
the messages online). Please realize that you can set your personal preferences
on the main page (under "Edit My Membership" in the top right corner).
IMPORTANT: THERE IS A TIME LAG FOR CHANGES: Whenever a user changes settings,
there is an overlap from the time it takes for Yahoo to process the change,
until emails in the queue waiting to go out to the users are delivered. In other
words, in the six hours it takes for Yahoo to permanently stop the emails from
coming, there are emails already set up to go out, and will continue to go out
until the queue is emptied. (Some people have reported this taking up to three
days.) So please don't email the moderators with comments like, 'I changed my
settings/unsubscribed yesterday, why am I still getting emails?' Just be
patient, and all should be well. Don't make more than one change at a time (each
additional change adds on another day of wait).
If you encounter further problems, you might want to consult the Yahoo! Groups
help pages at:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/
Just so you know, you CAN delete your own posts for any reason (for example, if
someone's taken the item you offered, or if you've received the item you wanted,
or if you posted something by mistake). Go back to your original post and bring
it into view on the screen. Right under the
Messages bar, where it reads:
Reply/Forward/View Source/Unwrap Lines/Delete
Click on 'Delete.' That should do it. (Note, though, that deleting a post won't
prevent it from showing up in the next digest for those with digest options.)
That should just about do it. Have fun keepin' good stuff out of landfills!

single woman living alone, you may want to meet downtown during the day to
exchange the item, or have somebody with you at home, so it doesn't appear that
you live alone.

co-workers...and they tell theirs, and so on, and so on...well, you get the
idea!

In!
FREECYCLE RULES & ETIQUETTE
1) KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. This means, for example, no
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms or Drugs, legal or otherwise. Two strikes and you're
outta the group. This is our main Freecycle rule to live by and it's a pretty
easy one at that. No advertising your yard sale, though, as you're looking for
money and that isn't free...
2) SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR POSTS. Use these phrases to make it easy for others to
delete or view:
OFFER: loveseat, downtown. [Offering more than 1 thing? Still keep it in 1
e-mail, please]
TAKEN: loveseat
WANTED: loveseat, any condition. [Please use this sparingly and don't offer
money. And above all else, don't ask for an extravagant item like a DVD player
which we'd all like to have or the strike rule will kick in - see #1 above. ]
ADMIN: new ideas, thoughts, etc. like can we get the guy with the couches to
ease up?
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. 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 e-mails we all have to receive.
7) CAN WE USE FREECYCLE TO FIND NEW HOMES FOR PETS? Yes, keep it legal & be
lovingly careful. However, posts about pets for breeding purposes are NOT
allowed in Freecycle groups.
8) NO TRADING PLEASE. Go to your local trading organization for this. It can be
quite fun.
9) RESPONSES GO ONLY TO OFFERER. It keeps down the sheer number of e-mails.
10) PICK UP. Arrange as you like. Generally, you'll wait until you get a handful
of responses or maybe overnite, 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 number. Otherwise you'll get swamped with phone calls.
11) DISCLAIMER: FREECYCLE NETWORK MEMBERS USE THE LIST AT THEIR OWN RISK. Please
take reasonable measures to protect your safety and privacy when posting to the
list or participating in an exchange. By joining the list, you agree to hold
neither the list owners and moderators nor anyone affiliated with Freecycle.org
responsible or liable for any circumstance resulting from a
Freecycle-related exchange or communication.
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 listserv assumes no responsibility for this risk.
If you, for example, are a single woman living alone, you may want to say that
you'll leave the item on the front porch while you are not home.
12) NO OFFERING/POSTING 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.
13) A BRIEF NOTE ON FREECYCLE ETIQUETTE: "Be nice." 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.)
TIPS TO ORGANIZE ALL OF THE NEW E-MAILS YOU ARE GETTING:
a) CREATE A SEPARATE E-MAIL FOLDER & AUTOMATICALLY HAVE FREECYCLE STUFF GO TO
IT. Create a separate folder in your Outlook Express & have Freecycle stuff sent
to it automatically with a new rule under tools/message rules/mail/
b) SET TO "DAILY DIGEST" OR "SPECIAL NOTICES" (which means you'll just browse
the messages online). Please realize that you can set your personal preferences
on the main page (under "Edit My Membership" in the top right corner).
IMPORTANT: THERE IS A TIME LAG FOR CHANGES: Whenever a user changes settings,
there is an overlap from the time it takes for Yahoo to process the change,
until emails in the queue waiting to go out to the users are delivered. In other
words, in the six hours it takes for Yahoo to permanently stop the emails from
coming, there are emails already set up to go out, and will continue to go out
until the queue is emptied. (Some people have reported this taking up to three
days.) So please don't email the moderators with comments like, 'I changed my
settings/unsubscribed yesterday, why am I still getting emails?' Just be
patient, and all should be well. Don't make more than one change at a time (each
additional change adds on another day of wait).
If you encounter further problems, you might want to consult the Yahoo! Groups
help pages at:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/
Just so you know, you CAN delete your own posts for any reason (for example, if
someone's taken the item you offered, or if you've received the item you wanted,
or if you posted something by mistake). Go back to your original post and bring
it into view on the screen. Right under the
Messages bar, where it reads:
Reply/Forward/View Source/Unwrap Lines/Delete
Click on 'Delete.' That should do it. (Note, though, that deleting a post won't
prevent it from showing up in the next digest for those with digest options.)
That should just about do it. Have fun keepin' good stuff out of landfills!

Neighbours :(

Does anyone have an old tv they no longer need, or know of a plce that sells
cheap tvs at all? It would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi There,
I have a antique wooden dining room table to give. It comes with 4 chairs. The
table does have a few scratches, however i find with some wood polish they are
not noticible and looks really good.
The chairs are wooden, with a suede like material. The Material is in need for a
clean. My daughter has dran lovely pictures all over them and has spilt her
drink on them so many times. I have some chair cleaner that you can have to give
them a clean with. Just grab a sponge and give them a good clean. The screws on
2 of the chairs also needa bit of tightening. They are a bit loose.
Pick up From Singleton Heights Asap as im getting my new set today.
Cheers
Denise

Dear Freecycle(TM) Member,
Thanks for being a part of The (ever-expanding) Freecycle Network. We're
changing the world one gift at a time! This message is sent to all subscribers
upon joining, and periodically thereafter to the entire list. If this message
hasn't been updated since the last time you read it, feel free to move on to the
next post. Date of last update: 14 June 2006
If you're new to the group or want a quick refresher on making the most of our
Freecycle group, please read on! This message contains essential knowledge for
all Freecycle members and will answer MANY common new-user questions, so please
take the time to read it through.
This Freecycle group matches people who have things they need to get rid of with
people who can use them. Our goal is to keep usable items out of the landfill.
By using what we already have on this earth, we reduce consumerism, manufacture
fewer goods, and lessen the impact on the earth. Another benefit of using
Freecycle is that it encourages us to get rid of junk that we no longer need and
promote community involvement in the process. Free your inner pack rat!
Begun on June 11 2006, the Singleton Freecycle group is a branch of an
incredibly fast-growing international Freecycle movement, which began in Tucson,
AZ on May 1st, 2003 and now boasts thousands of groups all over the world.
Please help this group grow by spreading the word!
We all personally know lots of great people in our community who would love this
idea. So, why not "pay it forward" and tell 3 (or more) people how wonderful
Freecycle is! You tell your friends, you family, your neighbors, your
co-workers...and they tell theirs, and so on, and so on...well, you get the
idea!

Please read the following completely!
FREECYCLE NETWORK(TM) MEMBERS USE THE LIST AT THEIR OWN RISK. Please take
reasonable measures to protect your safety and privacy when posting to the list
or participating in an exchange. By joining the list, you agree to hold neither
the list owners and moderators nor anyone affiliated with The Freecycle Network
responsible or liable for any circumstance resulting from a Freecycle exchange
or communication.
Transactions are between Offerer and Recipient and will not be mediated or
arbitrated by Freecycle administrators, moderators, or representatives.
SAFETY. Be aware! It is up to each individual member of a Freecycle group 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. The Freecycle Network and member groups, as listservs, assume no
responsibility for this risk.
It's wise to arrange for a drop-off at a public place (shopping area, library,
etc.); or if you do give a member your address, to leave the item on the porch
without mentioning whether or not you'll be home. If you, for example, are a
single woman living alone, you may want to meet downtown during the day to
exchange the item, or have somebody with you at home, so it doesn't appear that
you live alone.
Thank you,
Singleton Freecycle Moderator
