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:

• 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:

• 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.
