Community Drop Off Day: Hard to Recycle Items

Community Drop Off Day: Hard to Recycle Items

Do you have hard-to-recycle items cluttering up your home? Bottle caps, light bulbs, electronics - we all have them. But what can we do with them? Join rePurpose for a day of education and proper repurposing!

On Saturday, September 16, from 12pm to 4pm, we'll be accepting difficult-to-recycle items listed here. Community members can bring their items and get connected with like-minded people while learning about the downstream waste cycle and information on becoming a rePurpose member.

Our team will be on hand to answer any questions you have about how to dispose of these items responsibly.

In addition to providing a convenient way to dispose of your items, we'll also be presenting educational information on how to reduce waste and recycle properly. We'll cover topics like what happens to your waste after it leaves your home, and how you can reduce your waste footprint in your everyday life.

After the event, our team will ensure that all items are organized for reuse, transported to transfer stations and proper locations for reuse or recycling.

Don't let your hard-to-manage items clutter up your home any longer! Join us for an afternoon of education and resource navigation, and make a difference in your community's environmental footprint.
