Reverse Shopping

We left with the van full and came back with it empty.

First stop: Home Concept. My friend Susan told me they recycle Styrofoam.
Fortunately they still do.
Unfortunately the store is closing.
Fortunately...we aren't buying anything new for the next six months..so we shouldn't have any more Styrofoam to deal with.

Stop two: Remember the computer that died within two weeks of starting the Buy Nothing New Challenge...time to get rid of it.

Fortunately Madison recycles desk tops ( at Badger Rd site)
Unfortunately you need a $10 ticket that they do not sell there
Fortunately there was a library close by and it was open.

Bonus: we found another place to recycle shoes!

Last stop: St Vinny's on Odana for everything else.

The basement is not empty by any means...but at least the floor is clear!
