It is our goal at the City Convenience Center to reduce the amount of waste going into our landfills. The Reuse-It Area is a wonderful way of doing just that.

In the Reuse-It Area, you can drop off good usable items that you may no longer want or need. There is no charge for dropping off these unwanted items and anyone may take these items for free. This helps reduce the amount of waste going into our landfills and helps the community at the same time. The only restrictions we have on what may be placed into the Reuse-It Area are refrigeration units and certain hazardous products. We also must insist on screening what is being placed into the Reuse-It Area so to prevent unusable items being dropped off.

Typical items found in the Reuse-It Area are furniture, toys, bikes, tires, appliances, lawn mowers, knickknacks, computers, televisions and even camper shells and boats. You just never know what you'll find in the Reuse-It Area. "It's the cheapest yard sale in town." "It's fun; it's free; and it works!" NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE OR RESALE.
