FREECYCLE
To help keep our community sustainable and keep reusable items out of our landfill, consider joining San Bruno’s Freecycle Group. This online group gives residents and businesses another resource for reuse within our community. All items posted on the website must be FREE. If you have something to offer, or perhaps there is something you need, Freecycle may be your answer.
