Start, join, or become a moderator for your local online reuse group such as Freecycle or Buy Nothing (details on these groups listed above).
Collaborate with your neighbors on a multi-family or neighborhood-wide yard sale.
Rent, borrow, or share large equipment, snow blowers, lawn mowers, and other large equipment with your neighbors, coworkers, and friends.
