Grey Bruce Freecycle

October 18, 2007

The Grey/Bruce Area Network is open to all who want to “recycle” that special something rather than throw it away. Whether it’s a chair, a fax machine, piano or an old door, feel free to post it. Or maybe you’re looking to acquire something yourself! Nonprofit groups are also welcome to participate too!

One constraint: everything posted must be free. This network is brought to you by The Freecycle Network, a nonprofit organization and a movement of people interested in keeping good stuff out of landfills. Check out freecycle.org for other cities and info on the movement! E-mail greybrucefreecycle-owner@yahoogroups.com for questions or improvement ideas!

For more info or to sign-up visit Grey Bruce Freecycle

It should be noted that the system is built on YahooGroups so a Yahoo user account is required to post items.

Here are the most recent items being given away…

    the problem with the grey-bruce freecycle is that it tends to be centred too far south to be practical for the trade of free things up here. There is, however, an Owen Sound Freecycle, also hosted on yahoogroups, but the problem there is the list moderator has vanished into thin air, so the mailing list quite frequently gets bombarded with very ugly spam — it’s only once a week or so, but the nature of the posts is such that you wouldn’t want to publically post their RSS feed anywhere.

    Despite the occasional f-buddy spams, I subscribe to both lists, and I have given and received some excellent stuff off both but do keep in mind that it isn’t a nice local network like a closed community website, your emails are out there on a list that has subscribers everywhere and anywhere, not just neighbours. Highly recommended, but play smart, play safe.

Got something to say?
