Hi folks,
I just wanted to let ye know about a FreeShare project I've tried to
start in Dublin, Ireland. The website is http://ie.uk.to/ .
The idea was to focus on 'shareable' - as opposed to non-shareable,
but recyclable - goods (at least in the beginning), but the project
really hasn't taken off unfortunately. Feel free to take a look
anyway.
Also, I actually decided to use a website - with a Content Management
System - for the project, as opposed to a mailing-list/Yahoo Groups.
For anyone who might be interested in adopting a similar approach for
their own project, I have drafted a 'How-to' - which you can access
here: http://ie.uk.to/index.php/start_a_project . The guide is also
available in downloadable PDF format here:
http://ie.uk.to/downloads/start_a_project.pdf .
All the best
From the home page of: http://ie.uk.to
A Free Co-operative - Dublin, Ireland
About the project
You are here: >> About the project
This project is for the sharing/lending of items such as tools,
books, equipment etc. that a person might have lying around but
aren't using. The project is not about lending items for money.
Essentially, it is about lending items for free.
Although the project is mainly for shareable goods at the moment, an
option to search for/request non-shareable goods might be added at
some stage - if the project becomes active. Listings for services
(a 'Help offered/needed' section) is another facility which could be
introduced.
Before using the site, you can read a bit more about it here. You
can register here. Since this project is somewhat experimental, the
site may be changing regularly. If you're having any problems, or
have feedback or suggestions, you can contact the webmaster here.
We have a BIG announcement for you!

NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROFITABLE FREECYCLE TM CORPORATION
Welcome to our freecycling community! This group is for the people
of Custer, WA and Whatcom County who want to participate in a
gifting economy . Here we give and receive stuff and services for
free with no strings attached. There is no exchange involved. It is
a pure gifting economy where participants can choose to be givers or
receivers or both as they see fit.
To help people scan messages, please put Offered:, Wanted:, Taken:,
or Received: as the first word on the subject line followed by a
short description of the item or service.
"The purpose of our freecycling group is to create a true 21st
Century Gifting Community. Yes, this is different from many other
freecycles; we have a more progressive purpose than just reducing
the refuse piles. We intend to change the world." - Kay
Dayass,"Whatcom County Gifting Economy Freecycling"
"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to
change them yourself." - Andy Warhol
"If we believe in the rebirth of our civilization... then clearly
this renaissance must begin in the chambers of our own hearts... We
cannot wait for society to change, or for our institutions to be
renewed. We, as individuals, must assume responsibility for our own
personal transformation." - Georg Feuerstein
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BigTicketFreeShare/
For those high dollar or dream items your too shy to ask for on your
local group, the sky is the limit here. People really do give and
receive cars, houses, furniture and more!!
In the SUBJECT line please include 2 things:
1) Appropriate hedding Wanted, Offer, Info (no "need")
2) Brief item description
3) Location of item or area your willing to travel to pick up (City
& State or County & State)
Please remember to keep everything FREE, FREE and only FREE,
appropriate for all ages and within the limits of the law. Thank you.
*Free Share has no affiliation with freecycle tm network.
*Free Share is NOT a business, freecycle is.
*Free Share is all volunteers, freecycle has paid employees.
*Free Share does not need to claim to be a non-profit because we are
NOT a business, Freecycle falsley claims to be a 501 non-profit.
*Free Share groups are started, owned and operated by
moderators/members in their own communities, Freecycle groups are
run & regulated by the corporation in Arizona & by freecycle staff
from across the globe.
*Free Share asks communities not to start competing free groups but
to work together & share the resource they already have, Freecycle
purposefully starts competing groups
*Free Share networks with all simular free groups, freecycle does
everything they can to close these groups down so they do not effect
their profits.
*Free Share is about families, community and saving our landfills
and natural resources, neighbor helping neighbor and spreading good
will and good karma. Freecycle is a lie.
As much as we dislike speaking out against anyone, in the case of
freecycle tm it must be done to defend our name and inform the
public of thier deceit. There are websites and news articles to back
up our statements and claims against corporate freecycle and founder
deron beal.
See "related link" for the main Free Share group with links to
thousands of Free local groups.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheBuySellTradeBarterOregon/
Freecycle can keep shutting us down and we will continue to re-open,
Deron Beal will not win this fight because it is wrong of him
to "close the competition" so his corporation FREECYCLE can make
money. WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! We are a buy, sell, trade and barter
group and we have a right to be here as much, if not more right,
then his corporation does!!!
Post your personal Buy, Sell, Trade, Barter and/or give away
classified ads for items in Oregon here for FREE. Business's in or
outside of Oregon may post to sell. No member may re-post the same
item more then onces per week. When our membership rebuilds and
posting increases, this will change.
All posts MUST INCLUDE in the SUBJECT LINE the appropriate HEADING
(Wanted, For Sale, Trade, Barter, Info or Free or any combination
there of) the name or brief description of the item and the
(LOCATION). ALL ADS MUST INCLUDE A LOCATION IN THE SUBJECT LINE.
Following this format assists members in scanning the ads without
having to waste time and become frustrated opening every post to
find out if it is something of interest to them
Subject line examples:
For Sale: Bobbles (Coos Bay)
Free: chairs (Albany)
Sale/Trade/Barter: 56 Ford PU (Corvallis)
Trade: Truck for car or? (Sublimity)
WANTED: marketing information (Oregon)
INFO: Low Income Assistance (Lincoln County)

Dallas Observer "Best Free Stuff" award!
Welcome to rEcycleDFW!
If you've got more "stuff" than you know what to do with—this is the
place!
If you want "stuff" and like the idea of not having to buy it—this
is the place!
If your "stuff" is yearning to be FREE—this is definitely the place!
Our mission is to keep "stuff" from our bulging landfills by making
the free exchange of items from hands that no longer want it to
hands that do. We promote the reduction of clutter in the lives of
our members, and making new friends in the process.
Rich or poor makes no difference at all, for all are welcome here.
Our list is not a resource based upon need. It's just neighbors
helping neighbors, one gift at a time.
rEcycleDFW was formerly DFWFreecycle, but we are no longer
affiliated with The Freecycle Network Inc.
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/LaVergne_free_recycle/
Welcome to the LaVergne-Smyrna TN. Free-recycle Network, where one
person's trash is another's treasure. Our goal is to reduce waste by
connecting people who are throwing away unwanted items with others who
are seeking the same items (and have a little fun in the process). No
item is too big or too small; but since this is a FREE-Recycle list,
ALL items must be 100% free.
THIS IS GROUP BASED ON RECYCLING ONLY !!!!
This is a new group, and the more members we have the better the
chances of succes! Encouraging your friends and family to join will
help the Free-Recycling movement flourish.

Ok how many of us have said "I need to have a yard sale!" and then we
don't either we don't have time or enough stuff. Some of us just don't
want to fool with it. Well here is an interesting alternative an
ONLINE YARD SALE. Here like with freecycle we can post our items that
we want to get rid of but add a yard sale price. I urge you to try it
out.All messages posted will show up in a timely manner.
Thank You
GAINESVILLE ONLINE YARD SALE

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/yourcheapcycle/
I just changed the name from medfordfreecyle to yourcheapcycle in
order to encourage all you U.S.A area folks to join. All are welcome!
Cheapcycle is an alternative to Freecycle. Cheapcycle is the place to
list items that you don't really need or want anymore, but don't want
to just give away. With Freecycle we can keep lots of random items out
of landfills, like half-full paint cans, children's party decorations,
broken curling irons, etc. So you may give your items away or sell
them. You may give them away on in this group (yourcheapcyle) if you
wanna. Please include shiping charge in your post. Main rule keep
items eather free or charge whatever you want.
A new alternative to the HIGHLY moderated freecycle groups in Mid-
Michigan. Although this group will be moderated, I promise to keep the
moderation moderate! Cars, services, and other items will be allowed
as will many of the things not allowed through other "Free" cycle
groups

cobbga_curbcycle/
Welcome to the Cobb County, GA Random Acts of Freesharing Group! Our
goal is to reduce waste by providing an alternative to sending
unneeded, but still usable items to the landfill. The network connects
individuals looking to get rid of items with individuals or charities
that could benefit from these goods. Freesharing is the place to find
a home for your unwanted (but still usable!) furniture, clothing,
building materials, computers, and all those other things that clutter
our basements and garages.

GREETINGS ONE AND ALL
And welcome to the "alternative", i created this site as an
alternative to freecycle, craigslist and 2good2toss. On this site
you are free to post wanteds, offereds, services, businesses, links
and items for sale, trade or barter.I ask that you look at the 2
files in the files section for the guidelines on posting....note
these are guidelines not laws....lol.
I have no objections to posting your business , site or sale. All i
ask is that it remain a legal transaction and that we keep the site
friendly in all matters.
Let me take this moment to explain a few definitions. Sale = trading
an item for currency___offer = free offering of an item or
service___barter = exchanging an item or service for an item or
service of equal value (to include cash value)___ trade= exchanging
an item for an item not including cash value___wanted= anything you
are looking for that someone may offer. All other posts should be
explained in the subject such as Thought for the day, a recipe for
the day and so on.
Any questions please email me directly ...thank you and happy
hunting.
