Sell It, Shred It, Give It Away

A couple of opportunities are coming up over the next month to get rid of things you no longer want or need:

  • Howard County Greenfest (Saturday 4/13/13) - paper shredding, recycling of electronics/bikes/sewing machines/denim, charitable donations
  • Emerson Yard Sale (Saturday 5/4/13)


Details:

1. Howard County Greenfest 2013

Howard County will hold its 6th annual Greenfest in the Burrill Galleria and the Quad at Howard Community College on Sat., April 13th from 10 am - 4 pm.

Among the featured events and vendors:
  • Free shredding of up to 3 bags or boxes of paper (10 am - 2 pm)
  • Denim recycling (will be turned into insulation)
  • Bicycles, bicycle parts, and portable sewing machines collected by Bikes for the World
  • Electronics, eyeglasses, binoculars collected
  • Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity will be present
  • Events:
    • Children's activities (outdoor nature playspace, "How-To-Cowboy" Workshop, live reptiles, and more)
    • Workshops (tower gardening, stormwater utility, citizen science programs, etc.)
For the full schedule, check out the web site (www.hcgreenfest.org) or the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/HoCoGreenFest).

Unfortunately, this Earth Day event also conflicts with Emerson's Spring Clean-Up.

2. Annual Emerson Yard Sale

On Sat., May 4th from 8am - 12pm Emerson will hold its Annual Yard Sale in the parking lot of the Clubhouse (by the pool). For additional information see your email or contact Emerson.
