Freecycling

​What is Freecycling?


Freecycling gives residents an opportunity to give away usable items they no longer need or want. But that's only half of it. The best part is that you can take anything that someone else doesn't want anymore. It's a big trading event and it's all FREE! Freecycling is a fun way to give discarded but functional items a new life and keep them from filling our already crowded landfills.
​
Freecycling is a community event for people to exchange usable items for personal use, not for resale.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! Freecycling Day is a community event run by by volunteers. Please click on the button above to sign up to volunteer with us!
