Find repairKeep your Buy Nothing group. This is the one that works without social media — open to every neighbor, in English and Spanish. No ads, no feed burying your post. And when you're looking for something, it looks for you. Just free — for all of us.
Before you toss it, try to fix it. Most things can be repaired for less than buying new — one less thing in the landfill, and money saved for what matters.

A community board by ManyLives / Free South County, refreshed each month. We point neighbors to local reuse — the events are run by the libraries, Repair Café Silicon Valley, the Cities of Morgan Hill & Gilroy, and local businesses.
For what's beyond giving and beyond fixing, recycle it right:
This is a pilot: a small, working start on the local reuse infrastructure our towns could have. It runs on what's already here: local neighbors, local businesses, local charities. Nothing imported.
A pilot is allowed to start small, test what works, and change. That's not a disclaimer. It's the plan.
One day, Reuse South County isn't only an online hub. It's a warm, welcoming place in the neighborhood where reuse actually happens. That's where this is going.
Downtown, an old granary was kept instead of demolished. Same idea, bigger object.
