One persons trash in another persons treasure, here’s proof.
Your Furniture
Dump your sofa at the, well, dump. But, instead of
throwing your perfectly fine furniture into a pile of garbage leave it
free of charge at the Foothills Salvage Centre near Okotoks. While you
are there snag furniture at rock bottom prices that is great for
refinishing. Foothills Salvage Centre, 4 kilometres south of Okotoks on
Highway 783, Okotoks, 403-603-8161, www.foothillssalvagecentre.com
Your Wardrobe
Admittedly Take Off Your Clothes does let you
get rid of unwanted items only to have you replace them with more.
Exchange your clothes for coupons to redeem for other pieces at the
swap. The swap starts taking your give-aways in April or you can drop
them off now at Eleven Eleven boutique in Kensington. The next event
will take place June 3. www.theswapteam.org
Your Computer
The Electronic Recycling Association takes your
computer, wipes it clean of all personal info and refurbishes it to
donate to charities. You can drop your computer at any Zellers location. www.zellers.com
Your Appliances
If you have appliances that need to go,
including fridges and televisions, you can take them to the ERA
warehouse or call for pick-up. ERA, 1301 34 Ave. S.E., Calgary,
403-262-4488, www.era.ca Jaelyn
