This week our city has what they call Spring Clean Up. It's where the city will take anything for you and to dump without you being charged an extra fee. Some of it is great such as taking our leaves and clipping to compost without being charged a fee per bag or having to get it up there yourself. They will also take away unwanted furniture or junk for you too for now. So I was thinking this week as we cleaned out our shed and garage and got our stuff prepared to take away that while this is a great service there are some alternatives to it that maybe not everyone is aware of. Regardless of the size of your trash it still ends up in the same old landfills. So it goes back again to that old saying once more....one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Here is an alternative that I have been using that my sister in law told me about. It's called Freecycle. You basically post in the forum...I have this outside on my porch come and get it. There are rules, it must be free, but it is a great way to get rid of stuff or maybe even find something you have been looking for. So go and check it out. http://www.freecycle.org/
Another idea for you, is Craigslist and Ebay. In these touch economic times it can prove to be a great way to earn some extra cash!
Hope you are all having a great week,
Karen
