However, in The Gambia and Madagascar, I've seen only clothes being sold. Also, I know that in many African countries in general the people are very creative and let very little go to waste. It my be surprising what someone with very little but creativity can do with our junk! In other words, shipping Goodwill leftovers overseas might actually be a good way to recycle.AmazinAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145567881766163189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302480784488907086.post-8987971790556195252008-04-07T19:32:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:32:00.000-07:00As you know our small town closed down the 'swap s...As you know our small town closed down the 'swap shop' at the transfer station because it was found to be a 'liability'. In my opinion it is a liability to not have a swap shop! It was the perfect way to get rid of items you no longer needed. I have written one open letter to the town selectmen and to the town online newspaper and I had positive response from community members but no words from the powers that be. Guess it is time to form a committee to help me get the swap shop reopened. I have a pile of items waiting to find new homes.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638456137129970537noreply@blogger.com
