 Freecycle Rides Again -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
I'm writing on behalf of The Freecycle Network(TM) to notify you that your group is not an official Freecycle group and therefore does not have permission to use the trademarked Freecycle name or logo or the copyrighted materials provided in the Start-a-Group process or the freecycle.org web site, or any confusingly similar derivations thereof.
Accordingly, please consider this your official notice to stop using the trademark-protected Freecycle name and logo, as well as any and all copyrighted texts, graphics, rules, and guidelines, in any part of the group including the title, or its URL (Yahoo group name).
If you decide instead to continue operating your own site outside of the Freecycle Network, it is important to provide a calm and smooth transition so that no members of either group are lost or become frustrated by the process.

 Freecycle (TM) | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist
In May of last year, we did a story on Freecycle, the spontaneously organized, voluntary, web-based network devoted to enabling people to give stuff away rather than throw it away.
Common misuses include adapting the mark as a noun such as the phrase "freecycler." The appropriate usage would be to say "Freecycle member" (note also the use of capitalization of the mark).
In my not so humble opinion, the makers of Freecycle could hope for nothing less from their concept...if everyone in the country thought, "hmm, why don't I freecycle that old bike rather than trashing it," we would be a bunch of serious freecyclers.
