    I am in search of any furniture and basic household items, my 15 yr old daughter and myself are in the process of relocating however we donated all our furniture and household items in Michigan when I relocated to find work in Utah in January and have just been living with family. I had surgery in Sept and lost my job in October I am finally back to work, but I have yet to have saved or earned enough to replace our basic necessity items if you have any suggestions on resources I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you for your kindness,

    Melissa & Katelynn Janes

    Any one have any idea who I can contact about getting some recycling bins for plastic and paper products
    down here in Sanpete County there is not anything around here and it driving me and others crazy.
    We save our plastic items and take them to SLC when we go up there but some times it can be a large load. Please help.
    Thanks
