The Twin Cities Free Market was created and is managed by Eureka Recycling. The program is funded by the City of Saint Paul, Anoka County, Washington County and Ramsey County. We are currently in the process of finishing a contract with Hennepin County. Promotion of the Free Market in the city of Minneapolis will begin once the contract with Hennepin County is finalized. The Free Market allows cities and counties to create reports for the materials exchanged by area and by material type. This makes it easy to quantify reuse and reduce efforts. Last year in the metro area, over 71,000 residents used the Free Market to make 6,800 exchanges totaling over 780 tons of reusable materials that were diverted from the trash!
