"Hamilton Freecycle™ is open to all who want to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away. Whether it's a chair, a fax machine, or an old door, feel free to post it. Or maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself! Everything posted must be FREE, legal and appropriate for all ages.
The Freecycle Network is a movement of people interested in keeping stuff out of landfills while building a sense of community.
Please direct questions or comments to the Moderators or to The Freecycle Network
Q: How can I tell if a group is affiliated with The Freecycle Network?
A: Go to Freecycle Network and click on Canada under Freecycle Groups. Scroll down to Hamilton; if you find it on that list, it's affiliated."
