Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 22 from 9 am til noon.
This year we will be accepting:
American Flags
Bicycles
Cell Phones
Christmas Tree Lights
Clothing (Belts, Scarves, Hats and Purses, Bed and Table Linens and Towels
gently used or worn clothing and textiles accepted. Please bag them}
Electronics

Fire Extinguishers
Hearing Aids
Keys
Shoes (please tie together or rubber band together)
Stuffed Animals
Yarn
Three bankers boxes of paper for shredding will be accepted until the truck is full. You must make sure there are no binders, clips or paperclips because they jam the truck.
We won't be able to take your shredding if you haven't removed them. Our goal is to move people through as quickly as possible so we can not allow you to remove them here.
The event is at the Fremont Township Complex. Enter off of Erhart Road. If anyone is looking for volunteer opportunities, please call Nancy at 847 223-2847 to register to help.
