A special spring cleaning event for all of your hard-to-recycle household items.
Getting some new gizmos and gadgets this holiday season? Don’t throw away your old electronics and appliances – you can recycle them! In fact, there are lots of things you might consider throwing away that can be repurposed, reused or recycled!
Save your hard-to-recycle items for the 2012 Recycling Extravaganza, happening on Earth Day (April 22nd) in conjunction with the St. Louis Earth Day Festival.
The Earth Day Recycling Extravaganza will be accepting your hard-to-recycle items from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the St. Louis Community College Forest Park campus parking lot, off Oakland Ave, on Sunday, April 22nd. Take this opportunity to make your personal space AND the environment a bit cleaner and a bit neater, while sending your idle items on a journey to find new purpose. In addition to helping the environment, your donated materials will also be supporting the programs of numerous non-profits, including St. Louis Earth Day. So, grab a pair of gloves, maybe a mask—and attack that attic!
Some people go to the drive-through to get fast food, but you’ll be driving through the collection event, dropping off recyclables. Please plan your experience by separating your donation by the organization/business that will be accepting your specific items. This will help keep up with the traffic flow of drop-offs through the STLCC parking lot.
After your car is purged of spring cleaning debris, leave it at STLCC and catch a ride to the Festival via a free shuttle service, provided by the St. Louis Lambert International Airport biodiesel bus and Super Park compressed natural gas (CNG) bus. The shuttle service will be available between 10:30am and 6:30pm and will leave every 15 minutes on the hour.
