Free-cycle Free Market
This free market will allow individuals to take items that they might need and donate items that they no longer need. By giving our items a second life, we can save the environment by reducing waste and keeping them out of our landfill which is projected to be filled by 2035. Take what you need and don’t snatch up items just to hoard them at home and spoil the experience of other attendees.
