It’s New Year’s Eve and if your list of resolutions includes recycling and reusing, local nonprofits can help make those intentions a reality.
In fact, the Freecycle Network (https://www.freecycle.org/), a nonprofit dedicated to helping people give and get stuff for free, is gearing up for its busiest day of the year.
“Every year, our busiest day is January 2. Everyone gets through the holidays and they say, ‘I got my new sweater and I’m getting rid of the old … it’s kind of like Boxing Day in England, when people box up their old stuff after Christmas to get rid of it,” said Deron Beal, founder and CEO of Freecycle, which he established locally in 2003.
