SELKIRK AND DISTRICT FREECYCLE

Selkirk Freecycle group is open to all who want to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away.  Whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano or an old door, feel free to post it.  Or maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself!  Nonprofit groups are also welcome to participate too!

One main rule: everything posted must be free.  This group is part of The Freecycle Network, a nonprofit organization and a movement of people interested in keeping good stuff out of landfills.

To date we have 115 members from the Triple S District and have found new homes for:  swing sets, dressers, computers and many other items.

If you would like more information on this group, please feel free to contact me.
