Fall Cleaning???

Cleaning our your home/basement??  This outlet is a great way to clear out the clutter!  Post your item with your local Freecycle group (a YAHOO
 user group) and let someone else enjoy it.  Please DO NOT put usable furniture out with your trash!

Plastic Bags

Please do not put ANY plastic bags in with your recycling.  They clog up the machinery at the recycling plant and contaminate the recyclable items. Return them to a local store that recycles plastic bags.  You may also include clean and dry plastic bags such as the plastic wrapping from paper towels & toilet paper, bread bags & non compostable produce bags.
