SUMMARY:Large Item Swap
DESCRIPTION:Prince Edward County is supporting beneficial re-use of large items through endorsing a large item swap. During the event\, residents within settlement areas are encouraged to place their lightly used large items at the curb for other residents to take and continue to use. Large items could include furniture\, electronics\, tools\, etc. \nPromoting the driving of rural roads not only impacts the road condition but contributes large amounts of green house gases. As an alternative\, the County has set up a Facebook page where residents in rural areas can post their items and location for people to peruse. Those living in the settlement areas are also welcome to use the site. \nItems must be removed the next day. The event will be weather dependent and will be cancelled in the event of rain.
