Recycle + Freecycle

Here’s the idea, it’s like a garage sale but anything you bring and put out on the table is given away for free!! This is a great way to clean out all that clutter and feel fantastic while giving it away! It feels totally empowering knowing your helping others get what they need for free!!

At this time we are looking for people who would like to participate. If you are interested all you have to do is bring a table, clean out your closet and garage, basement and attic. Then bring your free items to recycle and come join in the party!!

When: Saturday, July 5th, 2008 from 10a - 4p

Where: At the Glass Academy, 25331 Trowbridge, Dearborn.

How to participate: By calling us at 313.561.4527.
