Freecycling (recycling) This is a recycled news story we first ran on August 12, 2007. With the recycling fervor running at a white-hot level, the article is re-run to to get more people to use Freecycling to reduce the amount of wasted going to the landfill. Recycle by giving away useful items. FREE: Freecycling; and yes, ColumbiaMagazine.comwill help. Freecycling ads will go in classifieds in "Miscellaneous" for now. When it catches on, we'll make a Freecycling: Free to a Good Home, classification, as suggested -Ed By Barbara Armitage First posted August 12, 2007; updated March 16, 2008 Besides being that crazy old lady in the garden who has too many animals, I am also an avid recycler. I have a firm belief in two things : 1. Everything must be used at least twice and, 2. If it's not useful or beautiful get rid of it. Unfortunately not everything is currently being recycled and in small towns you are very lucky to have a recycle center at all. At least here we can recycle the basic items but that still leaves a lot of great possibilities out there for reusing things. In large cities web sites are springing up all over offering people a way to connect with other people for the sole purpose of giving away items for free. So far I have just called the radio station when I had something to give away and it was gone in a flash. Today I had a thought that it would be nice if Adair County had some sort of 'Freecycle" site. A place where we can list the items that we have to give away I would encourage people to think twice about throwing things away someone out there might be able to use it. I have given away everything from a piano to plant seedsI don't know what your limitations are at Columbia Magazine could you sponsor some type of "Free to a good home" column? Of course it wouldn't be a money maker for you just good community relations. If this is the kind of thing you are interested in let me know, I'd like to clean out my husband section of the barn! An even better set of contacts for Recycling: Administrative Assistant Lisa Lee in the CJE's office and the Adair County Solid Waste Coordinator, A.L. Sinclair; and Carolyn Edwards, City Clerk, and Sonja Roy in City Hall. They're all interested in reducing the local governments payments to the transfer station. Here's the link to: Adair Recycling Center, 62 Service Road, Columbia, KY.
