Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We've been very hip on trying to find new homes for the reuseable stuff we no longer have a need of in our new store: the carpet, tile, and two radiators have all found new homes through Freecycle.

So when we're looking for items we are in need of, of course the first thing we think of is can we find it used? We did this with refinishing our wood floor instead of buying a new one. And the additional fixtures we'll be needing we searched for on the internet and found some in great condition down in Rockville.

We also found some great deals at Value City. While we hate seeing any business close, we spent our weekend taking down awnings and lighting fixtures that will find a new home in our Boonsboro store. It was a lot of work, but it pays off in lower prices for you and less perfectly usable stuff in our landfills.

Some additional items we're still looking for include computers with Windows XP and an ethernet card. They don't need to have any bells and whistles, just able to connect to the internet. They'll be used for our eBay classes that will be starting up this summer. For donations, we'll be happy to exchange a free eBay class! Payment in store credit can also be arranged after we've evaluated it's use for our needs.

Let us know if you'd like to bring your old computer in by emailing me directly at enkorekids@enkorekids.com or calling me at 240-674-1859. Thanks!
