Reuse Fairs

 

In 2011 six community Reuse Fairs attracted 900 residents. 

A Reuse Fair, formerly known as a Garbage Fair or Reuse Roundup, is a one-day community event where unwanted but reusable household items are collected and passed on to charities, non-profits, artisans and schools that need them.

Every Reuse Fair collects a slightly different list of items based on the requests they receive. Examples of typical items include: milk jug lids, old bedding, onion bags, keys, spices, corks, broken jewelry, nylons and old calendars.

There is more…

You will also find the following at most Reuse Fairs:

  • Free Table and Book/Magazine Exchange so everyone has a chance to find a treasure
  • Artisan displays of creations made with reused material
  • Displays promoting community and environmental stewardship

We encourage you to join in, clean out your clutter and pass it on at a Reuse Fair. This is a great opportunity to divert waste from landfills and help out community organizations.
