These are the THEMED POST GUIDELINES for Tacoma Area Freecycle (Rev. January 1, 2015) - Changing the world one gift at a time - WANTED POLICY: No more than 1 'Wanted' post per day (1 item per post) - 2 per week and you may not ask for the same item again for at least 14 days. Today I would like to talk about 'blanket' wish lists vs. 'themed' lists... A `blanket' wish list is a `Wanted' post that does not have a `specific' item listed that a member is looking for. In the past, these types of posts were deemed as harmful to some as it was a way to get past our guidelines of only asking for one item per ‘Wanted’ post. However, we feel that some items can now be grouped as ‘Themed’ items and will be approved. We DO NOT allow 'blanket' wish lists to be posted to our group. Here's a small example of what IS NOT allowed: WANTED: toys (Tacoma) Looking for any kind of toys you have, especially Barbies, My Little Pony, or Hello Kitty toys. WANTED: Outdoor items (Tacoma) Looking for any kind of outdoor items (slides, swing set, lawn decorations, canopy, etc) you have. WANTED: Baby items (Tacoma) Looking for bottles, blankets, clothes, anything for a baby. Here's a small example of what IS allowed: CLOTHES Specifically name a size range that you are looking for. If posting for multiple people, the sizes need to be in separate 'Wanted' posts. CD's WANTED: Music CDs (Tacoma) Looking for some Country or Heavy Metal CDs. Can pick up anytime. TOYS WANTED: Toys (Tacoma) Looking for some toys appropriate for a 6 year old girl. VIDEO GAMES Specifically name a short age range of the children that the video games would be for. If asking for games for the family, please state that in your post. This way, members will know what is appropriate to offer. THEMED ITEM POSTS The difference between ‘blanket’ lists and ‘themed’ lists may not seem like much but it makes sense to us to allow ‘themed’ lists now. A ‘themed’ list states an item that a member is looking for on the subject line but does not name ‘specific’ items in the body of the post. FABRIC AND CHRISTMAS OR HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS WANTED: Fabric (Tacoma) Any type of fabric would be great, especially older patterns. WANTED: Christmas Decorations (Tacoma) Looking for some outdoor decorations that work. Can pickup promptly. TOOLS WANTED: Tools for a garage (Tacoma) Looking for a set of tools that can be used in my garage for fixing items in my house or my car. WANTED: Gardening Tools (Tacoma) I’m starting my garden and looking for some gardening tools. If you have any that you no longer need, I can pick them up promptly. Asking for a dining room table and chairs is perfectly acceptable. Also asking for a 'matching' couch and loveseat is acceptable as well as long as the items are a set. Do understand that as a member of this group, when you keep items out of landfills and/or recycle, your efforts are charitable to both the earth AND to future generations. This alone is reason to feel proud of any and all of your efforts. Thank you for being such an awesome group! Your Friendly Tacoma Area Freecycle Moderators Questions? Comments?

TACOMA AREA FREECYCLE 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, moderators nor anyone affiliated with Freecycle 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 group 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 or arrange for a drop-off downtown, etc. Thank you, Your Friendly Tacoma Area Freecycle Moderators Questions?

Hi all! This is something that we have implemented into our group and hope that members will give it a chance. The Fair Offer Policy is not mandatory, but is preferred. Fair Offer Policy: "I agree to take a period of time (perhaps 24 hours) to see what responses I get before choosing a recipient for my item(s).

These are the POSTING RULES for Tacoma Area Freecycle (Rev. January 1, 2015) - Changing the world one gift at a time - Thank you for being a member of this local group Tacoma Area Freecycle. Although long, the rules are really quite simple. Please read the rules before posting so you can enjoy your Freecycle experience. ________________________________________________________________________ WHAT FREECYCLE IS: Freecycle is an international grassroots environmental movement designed to minimize the amount of "stuff" we dump in our landfills. We do this by providing a forum for people to give their unwanted but still usable items to new homes. As a side benefit, we're also creating a strong sense of community. WHAT FREECYCLE IS NOT: a) a place to publicize long lists b) a place to ask for extravagant or new items that aren't likely to be given away c) a charitable organization to meet all your wants/needs d) a discussion list ________________________________________________________________________ REUSABLE/TANGIBLE ITEMS -- FREE, LEGAL, & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES This is our main Freecycle rule to live by. E-mail, Yahoo ID's, etc., must be family-friendly. No weapons, adult-oriented items, alcohol, tobacco. If in doubt, e-mail the moderators for assistance. ________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT LINES OF POSTS Use only these keywords to make it easy for others to view: OFFER WANTED TAKEN RECEIVED Your Home (Location) is **required** at the end of the subject line for all posts submitted to encourage local gifting. Feel free to include EITHER your city OR 2 intersecting cross-streets. USE THE ABOVE KEYWORDS ONLY DO NOT USE: Reoffered, Repost, Needed, Pending Pickup. EXAMPLES -- with (Location: OR nearest cross-streets) OFFER: Birdcage (Tacoma) TAKEN: Birdcage (Tacoma) WANTED: Moving boxes (6th & Jackson) RECEIVED: Moving Boxes (6th & Jackson) ADMIN: For moderators' messages to all members -- please read. NOTE: DO NOT USE "PENDING" OR "PENDING PICKUP" IN THE SUBJECT LINE! Please put "pending" or "pending pickup" in the BODY of your message!! ________________________________________________________________________ HOW TO POST TO THE LIST a) Send an email to TacomaAreaFreecycle@... or b) From the website select "CONVERSATIONS" and then “NEW TOPIC” OFFER and WANTED posts The subject line *must* have 3 parts: 1) start with the keyword OFFER, TAKEN, WANTED or RECEIVED 2) followed by the item you're offering or requesting 3) end with your home location in parenthesis on **ALL** posts ABOUT OFFERs Multiple OFFERs may be listed in one e-mail. Please number each item for clarity. You may include a general grouping in the subject line; for example: OFFER: Kitchen items--see list (Tacoma) OFFER: Kids' stuff--see list (Spanaway) OFFER: Misc. stuff (Parkland) Please post a TAKEN for each OFFER when a recipient has been chosen or the item has been picked up. Post only one TAKEN per OFFER. DESCRIPTION: Describe your item using color, size, or condition. Note if it needs repair, works great, or is damaged or soiled. A recipient is under no obligation to take an OFFER if it isn't accurately described. Some items truly are landfill-ready. ________________________________________________________________________ REPOSTING: Please wait at least 14 days to repost the same item. This is because of the high volume of email that comes through this group on a daily basis. We don't want to overload member mailboxes unnecessarily. In the meantime, our members have the capability of searching the member archives and anyone who is looking for your item will find your original message. ________________________________________________________________________ PHOTOS: You're welcome to upload a photo of the item to the website and mention it in your post. Add your photos using "New Album" and name it with your e-mail name or Yahoo ID. Please delete the photo/Album when posting a TAKEN. ________________________________________________________________________ FAIR OFFER POLICY - We encourage you to agree to take a peri

Hi all, We just wanted to remind everyone that we are not designed to be a wish list or a charitable organization. We are not here to take care of needy families, friends, and coworkers, provide gifts to others, or your stock your office (Though this may occasionally be the result, it is NOT our primary intent). There are other organizations that can do this. Messages asking for help for families, etc. will not be approved. Freecycle exists as a forum to help people give away items that they would otherwise be throwing away. We are here to OFFER things that we have but no longer want or need. We do not object to wanted ads, but we think that we all need to consider what we are here for and use them wisely. That being said, we just need to point out a few things about WANTED ads. Please do not include a story of why you want something, or who it is for. We kindly ask that you help us to keep the site objective, and simply post "WANTED: Item (Location)". The body of the post will be reserved for only details necessary to explain what the item is, where you are willing to travel, or a simple thank you on your 'Taken' post. Thanks in advance for lowering the moderator's work by sticking to the rules. We work very hard to keep the site up to date for everyone. Your Friendly Tacoma Area Freecycle Moderators Questions?
