Join Friends of Nelson for a Community Conversation: Re-Use Sheds, Why We Have Them and How We Keep Them.

How did Nelson County’s collection system start? Join us as we welcome Susan McSwain, the leader behind our current collection centers.

Re-Use Sheds are vital, often more so than recycling, but misuse by a few threatens their future. How can we protect this important resource? Come and share your ideas!

Happy Tales from the Re-Use Shed. No money changes hands. Need a good home for something too good to waste, or want to avoid buying used?

Success stories:

An expensive, working water softener was taken within an hour by someone who had been planning to buy one.

An artist repurposed a large blank canvas into a beautiful painting.

Fun Fact: In 2006, a Montebello resident who didn’t use the Rockfish Collection Center donated wood and built the shed’s shelves, asking to remain anonymous.

His gift has enabled countless items to find new homes.

Together we can keep this vital community resource strong
