We are working with Battery Solutions to reduce landfill costs, and reclaim the minerals for use, not distruction.

 

We are collecting CFL's.  Given the laziness of the human condition, we are hoping this is an easy drop-off site, almost as easy as placing them ILLEGALLY in with the garbage.

 

We are collecting aluminum cans.  Redemption will help off-set the cost of battery reclamation.

 

We are directing our friends to bring their out-dated, un-used prescriptions and medications to the Justice Center on April 22 and 29 during the hours of noon to 6.

 

We are asking our friends to be more careful with sharps.  We are reviewing our policy in our building regarding sharps.

 

We are inviting everyone to the Swap Meet April 10.  Bring something that needs a new owner.

 

We also are hosting a rumage sale.  Materials are accepted 8-4 Thursday April 15.  The sale will be Friday, April 16, 9am to 6pm, with a bag sale Saturday .
