Post-Holiday "Re-Gifting" Freemeet in NYC
Saturday, January 29, 2005, 10am-6pm
At the Sixth Street Community Center
*FREE*
Bring your unwanted, but useful stuff to give away, or come by to see
what’s being offered! Nothing is for sale--everything goes on a
first-come first-served basis.
What can be Freecycled at the January 29th Freemeet?
Just about any working, reusable item can be dropped off (and taken
home!) at the Freemeet, such as:
-gently used clothing
-working appliances and electronics
-books and magazines
-sports equipment
-games and toys
-kitchen items
-office supplies
-toiletry items
-arts and crafts materials
-food and cosmetic items, if sealed/unused
Please keep items free, legal, and appropriate for all ages (i.e. no
pirated software, no weapons, no pornography, no hazardous materials).
Due to space constraints, we cannot accept large pieces of furniture.
Please limit items to those which can be easily carried away by hand,
in a tote bag, or with a grocery cart.
Certain non-working items can be dropped of for recycling as well:
-Cell phones and accessories (working phones too)
-Spent inkjet cartridges
-Spent batteries
All materials left at the end of the day will be donated to charity to
the extent possible.
