Recycle or rescue garden supplies, books and tools!
Do you have unneeded garden items that others could use? You can recycle/freecycle them here. We will be collecting garden books, pots, buckets, trays/flats, tools, tomato cages, gloves, potting soil, birdhouses and feeders, extra seeds or plant starts, sprinkling cans, garden hoses, wheelbarrows, rain barrels, composters, rototillers and more… Looking for usable, FREE garden stuff? Stop by and see what you can find! Our goal is to keep things out of landfills and to help facilitate healthy gardens. We do reserve the right to refuse any items (i.e. that aren't in good condition or because of space constraints). Any leftover items will be donated to West Seattle organizations or businesses.
Sponsored by Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle and the South Seattle Community College Landscape Horticulture Program with a grant for the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.
