More Recycle Options with Freecycle....

What is Freecycle?  It's an excellent way to reduce the amount of trash going into landfills and to reduce dump costs for local municipalities.  In the central Cincinnati area the group has over 4,600 members and over 1,500 posts per month.  Often, perfectly useable items set at the curb for disposal.  What Freecycle does is connects people with usable items to people who might have a need for the item.   For more information visit www.freecycle.org  and click on US Central groups, Ohio, then Cincinnati (inside city limits) to view the types of things that are being saved from landfills.
