Any leftover items will be distributed among local charities, or properly disposed of.Â
Feel free to bring a friend or two! this event is in honor of Earth Day, by helping to repurpose, recycle and re-use materials that others might benefit from, rather than seeing them go in the trash (and add to the landfill). The more people we get and the more items swapped, the better this mission will work.
