Mark your Calendars: Recycle Your Reusables Event

Recycle Your Reusables is the annual, regional recycling day for hard-to-recycle items. It's a local way to keep hundreds of tons of material from waste streams. Vendors re-purpose materials of value in ways that support underserved communities, and boost our local economy.  This year, Recycle Your Reusables will be Saturday Oct 21!  Please help spread the word throughout the region!

* Time: 9:30am-1:30pm

* Where: Ayer-Shirley Middle School, 1 Hospital Rd, Shirley, MA

* Who: Anyone. Yes, anyone!

* What: As of 9/20/23, confirmed vendors will take:

• arts & crafts supplies,
• non-rusty bikes & bike parts and accessories ($20 donation),
• books,
