Example #2 - Does Not Meet Freecycle Mission/Landfill Test

Dear Member,

Thank you for your participation in XXX Freecycle(TM).

Our main mission here is to keep tangible items out of the landfill. Unfortunately, your request does not meet the landfill test and therefore can not be posted to our Freecycle list.

Thank you for your understanding.
