The Columbia Gorge Freecycle Network has flourished during its short existence, boasting many successful instances of people connecting, helping one another, easing the burden on our landfills, and enjoying the pleasure of gift-giving and receiving. The process is simple. You have something you no longer need and you wish to "recycle" it rather than throw it into the landfill. You post an “OFFER.” You are looking for something that you would rather not pay for right now, you look through the “OFFERS” or post a “WANTED.” The other subscribers read your post. Those interested reply to you directly, and then you make arrangements for the exchange of the free item. |
