The BEST EVER GUIDE to Earthday Ideas!

How to Have a Free Sale and Be a Planetpal, too

Many towns around the country have swap shops at their transfer stations and recycle centers, but what do you do with all that stuff, if you don't? Well, you could have a Free Sale. At your church, your school or your neighborhood.

It is just like a swap, where everything was free for the taking. People take only what they would use. Plus, a Free Sale is also a great thing to do after another sale, to deal with the leftovers!

Tips:

• Make good signage.
• Leave items in boxes or display them
• Have an ample traffic pattern
• Have a place available and information for people to donate to the church or organization.
• So, why not have a Free Sale for Earthday. It's certainly a great way to spread the message, save the landfill and spread some good will. Just like Freecycle, it's another no brainer.

Who doesn't like free?

• Remember-WHEN it is OVER:
• Take down your ALL signs
• List leftovers as "PICK UP for FREE" on freecycle.org or craigslist.com
• Bring leftovers to your swap shop, transfer station, or local charity shop, and good toys to a preschool.
• Put leftovers on the sidewalk with a Planetpals FREE sign
