Participants begin by joining (or creating) a Freecycle list focused on the area where they live. If they have something to give away, they post a message with the subject heading "Offered: Toaster Oven." If they are seeking an item, they post a message with the subject heading "Wanted: Toaster Oven." When members of the list find a match for themselves, it's up to them to take it off-list and arrange for a pick-up; various guidelines are in place to ensure that this is done in a manner suitable to civil society.

There are Freecycle lists online for Canada, Germany, United Kingdom International and all regions of the US.
