Twin Cities Free Market is an internet-based exchange program that allows users to search for free items they want to give or get as a way to reduce the amount of potential goods being thrown away.
It's a program sponsored by Eureka Recycling, and is a great way to reduce and reuse! It also diverts materials that are difficult to dispose of from entering the waste stream, like appliances and electronics.
All you have to do is be a resident of Carver, Hennepin, Ramsey or Washington County to use the Free Market.

If you're looking to give away an item, you can also search the "wanted" catalog or create an "available" listing by clicking on "Give Items" on the left-hand side of the site.
