Everyone has stuff – in their home, their garage, that outbuilding around back – that they need to get rid of but just don’t for one reason or another.
Take a look around your house and think about items you would like to get rid of and mark your calendar for April 25, 2009. That is when the annual Hazardous Household Waste Day event will return to Marshall County; and this year, it will be joined by the Neighbors Helping Neighbors – a Re-Use Event.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors is an idea that came from the Lewisburg Rotary Club and has spread to include Goodwill and Marshall County Solid Waste. The idea is simple – allow people to get rid of items they no longer want or need but is still in good enough condition that it can be used by someone else. There are people right here in the community who need certain items to improve their quality of life and you might just have what they are looking for tucked away in the corner of your closet or garage taking up space.
If that is true, get those items together and get ready to bring them to the Goodwill parking lot in The Acres Shopping Center on April 24 from 2-6 p.m. or on April 25 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Those items will be collected in the side parking lot at Goodwill and sorted for anyone who wants or needs them to come and get them, free of charge. This is not a yard sale. This is a Neighbors Helping Neighbors – Re-Use event.
And the beautiful part is that any items not taken by someone who needs them will be taken by Goodwill for use in their stores; and any items that cannot be accepted at the Neighbors Helping Neighbors event can either be taken to the Hazardous Household Waste event that will be held the same day in the parking lot behind Lewisburg Jewelry in The Acres Shopping Center. If you can’t get rid of your stuff there, then the Convenience Center in Belfast is less than two miles away. Think of it - a day in which all that clutter in your house or garage can be gone with just a short drive to The Acres Shopping Center. And better yet, you will know that your items will benefit someone who can really use it right now. It’s a win-win.
Let’s clean up Marshall County and be a good friend and neighbor in the process.
