Used is Good


Every year in Hennepin County, 32 million pounds of usable clothing and household goods are thrown away. To encourage us all to reuse items before we chuck them in the landfill, Hennepin County is again sponsoring its "Choose to Reuse" program.

Coupon books are now available. There is a small display rack of them on the front counter. Pick one up the next time you're in the store. In the book are coupons good at 84 local retailers, including Magers & Quinn, which rent, repair, resell, consign, trade, sell bulk and exchange used goods. (Note however, that although the coupon books are available now, the coupons themselves are not valid until October.)

There are more details--including a list of all the participating stores--on Hennepin County's website.--David E
