Iowa Conservationists Take a New Approach

Iowa Conservationists Take a New Approach to Unwanted/Discarded Items
Before putting that old rocking chair on the curb for trash or taking that
working but outdated kitchen stove to the dump, give it away to someone
who can ReUseIt!  One person's trash is another's treasure takes on a new
meaning with  a worldwide organization dedicated to reducing the strain on
our natural resources by keeping usable items in circulation. In our
disposable society where many items are discarded long before they
have actually outlived their use, The ReUseIt Network finds new uses
for unwanted items that would otherwise be thrown into the trash.
 
 
ReUseIt Network groups have been  launched in Iowa.  There are groups
in Johnson and Washington Counties, with more being formed.

You can find the JohnsonCounyIAReUseIt group on the web at:

And the Washington_County_Iowa_ReUseIt group at:

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Washington_County_Iowa_ReUseIt
 
These online forums serve as a tool to make connections between community members
who want to help each other, themselves, and their environment. ReUseIt
Network groups can be found throughout the United States, Canada, United
Kingdom and Australia.  Visit the ReUseIt Network's web site and  check the directory to find a group:

 Anyone can join a local group forum in order to browse items available or
post items they wish to discard. Membership is open to all who want to
"recycle" that special something rather than throw it away. The only
constraint is that everything posted must be 100% free. Items are not
required to be in pristine condition, and in some cases can be non-working.

 
Simply list the item that you wish to give away and wait for someone to
respond saying that he or she is interested in taking the item.  You may
also request items you may want.  Another member may have the item
and will contact you to make pick-up arrangements.
 
It's an easy way to keep good things out of the landfill, and reduce our human footprint in today's world.
Don't throw it away - ReUseIt!
