Police held auctions. These police auctions are held once a year in most cities across the country. Police auctions are held by their department and the municipal services department also. Most items were either found or were stolen and never
claimed than an auction is held to raise funds that will be put into the police department funds.
These items could be considered recycled because their still usable and
can be obtain for a good price. Here is a listing of some items you may find
being auctioned.
cars, all-terrain vehicles, digital cameras, bicycles all makes and sizes, printers,
computers, fax machines, children's toys and many other types of items.
If you buy something take notice; they only except local checks or cash.
Many of the items are in good condition but you do have to take them as is.
So yearly you can check out your local police auctions in cities nearest you.
Good luck. You just might find a treasurer for yourself.
This is a great way to recycle and item by keeping it from the landfills.
This is a good thing.

Bricks will come in natural buff color of cream City tint found in this area plus up to 8 or 10 other tinted colors.

Clay pots need to be cleaned.
Clay pots need to be cleaned before spring planting. Clay pots need to be washed and scrubbed with bleach and rinsed in water before replanting flowers. Let them dry in the sun.
The discarded old soil from the pots can be recycled and thrown into a compost pile or used in your flower beds.
During the winter months store the clay pots in a dry area like the garage so they won't crack during the first frost.
If the clay pots get cracked brake them up and use them to provide drainage for your plants. Put the pieces at the bottom of the pot and cover with soil.
You should have healthy flowers spouting up out of your clay pots.
