Freecycle Listserv
Freecycle is a listserv open to the Wesleyan community to exchange work-related items (office supplies, furniture, etc.) or personal items (clothing, electronics, toys, etc.)
Freecycle rules
- Everything must be free.
- Exchanges of illegal and controlled substances or Wesleyan-owned technology (computers, iPads, etc.) are not permitted. If you have unwanted technology, please contact Desktop Support.
- Wesleyan-owned property may only be given away for Wesleyan use. If you have unwanted Wesleyan-owned property that you are unable to find a home for on Freecycle or if you are looking for something that is not currently available on Freecycle, please contact Bill Nelligan.
