It’s the place we take our trash and recyclables as well our time to visit the ‘Swap Trailer.’ I love this place.Īnd not only is everything being recycled, it’s also free. an outsourced company, is so much better for everyone…why not have an area designated for this?įinn and I visit our transfer station once a week (at minimum). I realize a resource such as this improves things ever so slightly, yet, it’s a step in the right direction…how can anyone disagree with that?Įvery piece of ‘junk’ removed by another resident (recycled) vs. Wouldn’t a space such as this help a town save on expenditures for removal of said stuff? All the while allowing residents to utilize perfectly good stuff someone else simply tired of – thus, maximizing the re-use of already consumed goods, which in turn minimizes consumerism? Which, ultimately, lessens our impact on the world around us? Why not set aside a space for residents to drop off unwanted – but good stuff – for others to use…instead of trucking it away, to be dumped into a large hole in the ground (planet earth), to only eventually leach out into everything…? Why not invest in a ‘swap shop’ area? Mine does and I call it the ‘freebie barn’, though the sign on the outside calls it, the ‘swap shop’… Granted, not all transfer stations allow ‘shopping’, and that’s a shame. The freebie barn, swap shop, transfer station, call it what you will, it’s a fabulous resource! I thought I’d end this year by talking about my favorite place – the freebie barn!
