I couldn’t have imagined our small group of Dover residents would have evolved into the Freecycle it is today. Since it’s inception the FreeCycle Network has spread to over 85 countries, where there are thousands of local groups representing millions of members and Dover’s group is a part of keeping over 500 tons a day out of landfills! If you haven’t taken the time to read the history jump on over to the main FreeCycle site and have a read.

The Sherborn Swap Shop will be closed from Nov. 1 until about April 1, 2009. All remaining items at the Swap Shop will be donated to local charities. If you have items you were thinking of bringing to the Swap Shop, we encourage you to take them to a charity instead, rather than put them in the trash.

For information on charities that accept donations, contact Andrea Brennan at 508-647-1510. Or sign up for Framingham Freecycle, an online way to find people to take your stuff at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FraminghamMAfreecycle/ .
