Freecycle Listserv
Wesleyan Freecycle is a listserv open to the Wesleyan community to exchange work-related items (excess office supplies, furniture, etc.) or personal items (clothing, electronics, toys, etc.)
Freecyle 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.
- Attachments must be under 2 MB in size (it's recommended to share a document with thumbnail pictures if offering multiple items).
Using Freecycle
To subscribe
Send an email to: lyris@lyris.wesleyan.edu with a blank subject and one line in the body: subscribe freecycle (do NOT include a signature). You will receive a confirmation email link, which you will need to click to confirm your membership. You will then be able to send to freecycle@lyris.wesleyan.edu and will receive all messages sent to that list.
Please use the message headers below, followed by a brief description (Ex: WANTED: Table Fan). Put the details in the message you send.
Use the headings "Personal" or "Business" before Freecycle offers
- OFFER (business or personal): item
- WANTED: item
- RECEIVED/TAKEN: item
- PROMISED: item
To unsubscribe
Email lyris@lyris.wesleyan.edu with a blank subject line and one line in the body: unsubscribe freecycle (do NOT include a signature).
Freecycle Facebook Group
Are Freecycle emails too overwhelming or not relevant to you? Try the Freecycle Facebook group instead! Open to anyone, but designed for student exchanges. (Note: this is much less frequently used than the email listserv.)
