Discardia output streams for Ann Arbor
Discardia output streams Posted 25 Jul by John Hritz (thanks John!) I have not used all of these personally, but it's a real good list regardless.
- Ann Arbor Reuse Center on Industrial (household items)
- PTO Thrift Shop
- GreenDisk (floppies, cd-roms, other tech drivel)
- Recycle Ann Arbor (styrofoam, plastic bags, batteries)
- Amazon Marketplace (sell books, cds, dvds, videos)
- eBay (high value collectibles)
- ezBayDrop / iSoldit
- (hard to ship or research or difficult to market items)
- Ann Arbor Freecycle (John also uses Dearborn)
- Compost pile
- Friends of the Ann Arbor District Library booksale
- Peerflix (dvds)



I am fascinated by how often I land on your blog serendipitously. Ed, I think we have been running in neighboring circles for many years now, though I don't think we have met. I am an Ann Arborite, librarian, and programmer. I also operate a consignment used book business that I think would fit nicely on the list of Discardia output streams for Ann Arbor. There are a few twists. I pay-out 50-70% on consignment. I'll pick-up in the Ann Arbor area, and take most any book. Those I can't sell I will return or channel to charities or for recycling. I sincerely hope this is of interest. I arrived here today while searching for iSoldit. Thanks.

Thanks for the Peerflix.com mention. Our service is indeed a great way to re-use the DVDs you have but don't watch anymore for the DVDs you really do want to see.
