This is the best, coolest yard sale ever. And you get to play a role, thanks to the smart folks at ecoRI News.

In an effort to find homes for some of Rhode Island’s unwanted items, the organization will host its inaugural Reuse Sale the weekend of June 4 and 5 at 111 Hope St. from 8 am to 1 pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

Antiques, books, collectibles, & more

This consumer-friendly fundraiser will feature antiques, books and magazines, sports collectibles and memorabilia, photographs, movies, CDs, kids and adult clothing, gardening supplies, make-it-yourself rain barrels, countertop compost bins, household items, computer accessories and tools.

Stop by and enjoy a cup of coffee with the ecoRI News staff, snack on some delicious baked goods and check out the nonprofit’s news office.

A great way to get rid of your "treasures"
