Williston residents looking to get rid of unwanted items have a new venue to keep those items out of landfills.
Freecycle is “a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It’s all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills,” according to the Freecycle website.
The local group has the same goal.
“Freecycle is a group that was started to promote recycling, only it’s a different kind of recycling,” Freecycle member Serena Woodward said. “Instead of throwing your old stuff in the trash, you give it to someone else. The main premise is that if you take something from Freecycle you’re agreeing not to sell it. If you decide that you didn’t need it or you’re done with it, you give it to someone else. It keeps stuff out of landfills.”
