Activists are calling for locations where people can dispose, reuse, recycle and compost their waste.

Similar to thrift stores, they allow people who wish to discard an item to do so, as well as for others to buy discarded items.

Hennepin County’s Zero Waste plan calls for exploring the creation of resource recovery parks.

Many resource recovery parks do not sell things they collect directly to the public.

Hennepin County’s Waste Reduction and Recycling manager Ben Knudson says the county has a lot of great options already.

Liss , the California -based zero waste consultant, said many parks don't sell items collected directly to public.

He added that in his view new parks should sell items.
