Most potters we know are great at recycling. Part of the mindset, yes?

We just found a group that recycles free items among it's members.
There are 1021 cities involved, with 237,500 people signed up. No
fees, all volunteer, no obligation - except everything has to be
free. Sounds really great to us, check it out, see what you think. We
just signed up for the three in our area.
