TCPalm: Lifestyle
Two years ago, Vero Beach resident Joy Walmer found a way to keep her family’s junk out of the local landfill.
“I hate to throw things away, I like to give them to people who can use them and it has helped me out too. I’ve gotten things I needed,” said Walmer, a self proclaimed “anti-pack rat.”
Walmer is one of more than 2.7 million members of the freecycle.org network, which has local message boards along the Treasure Coast. The site was started in Tucson in May 2003 with the intent to advocate waste reduction and keep useful items from cluttering up landfills.
