A brief description of the program:
Wesleyan Freecycle is a listserv where anyone in the Wesleyan campus community can offer things they don't need or request things they are looking for. Individuals can exchange work-related items (office supplies, furniture, etc.) or personal items (clothing, electronics, children's things, etc.) The only requirement is that everything has to be free. Wesleyan also operates a free Recycling Room at Physical Plant for excess office furniture, including desks, chairs, and file cabinets. Any Wesleyan employee can donate to or take from the Recycle Room by making an appointment with Physical Plant customer service.
