Free Recycling
Join the Recycling Movement that's spreading around the world. The goal of Free
Recycling is to
reduce the amount of useable stuff that winds up being
thrown away, filling up our landfills, and using up our natural
resources. Members post items online that they no longer want: a table, a power
tool, a bed, a toy, clothes, a computer, whatever. Another member spots
something he/she wants, contacts the current owner, and receives the item for
free. No money changes hands. Simple and elegant, and less unnecessary
waste!

join the online Macon County Free Recycle group, please click here.
