FREECYCLE



The Freecycle Network™ is made up of
4,954 groups with 8,528,268 members
around the world.

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.

NETWORK
TFN



The Freecycle Network (often abbreviated
TFN or just known as Freecycle) is a
non-profit organization registered in the
state of Arizona, USA, and separately
registered as a UK charity,that organizes
a worldwide network of "gifting" groups,
aiming to divert reusable goods from
landfills.

It provides a worldwide online registry,
and coordinates the creation of local
groups and forums for individuals and
non-profits to offer and receive free
items for reuse or recycling, promoting
gift economics as a motivating cultural
outlook.

WORKS



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!
