Putting cash in your pocket while helping the environment has never been so easy.  Join the City in celebrating REUSE by participating in the City’s Annual Citywide Yard Sale.  Whether you buy, sell or donate, reusing materials is one of the easiest ways to reduce materials from being landfilled. 

Whether you are trying to clear out your garage or searching for secondhand treasures, this event is for you.  Residents and local organizations are encouraged to sign up and enjoy the benefits of a catalog listing their featured items and a resource list of charitable organizations accepting donations.  Here’s how to get started:
