Items should only be trashed as a last resort. Enough said.

A little refresher.
Who is Forrage and what is our goal?
Forrage.com is an upcoming marketplace for the trade of goods and services. We are focused on sustainability and collaboration - and just plain interested in helping recirculate the stuff we already have! We are currently in the development stages and would LOVE all the support we can get. You can help Forrage by showing an interest: please “Like” Forrage on Facebook, and share our blog with others! Updates soon to come.
Everyone likes stuff. Let’s redistribute instead of adding more.
