Thanks to Fauntleroy’s Judy Pickens for sharing information about what’s happening during “reuse/recycle weekend” next Saturday and Sunday:

The 15th annual 2nd Time Sale and the second Recycle Roundup constitute a “reuse/recycle weekend” coming up in Fauntleroy.

The much-anticipated sale will be Saturday, Sept. 11, 9 AM – 3 PM, and Sunday, Sept. 12, 11 AM – 1 PM, in and around Fellowship Hall at Fauntleroy Church, 9140 California SW. Expect bargains on a wide variety of clean, workable, and well-organized stuff, including furniture, toys, books, linens, kitchenware, and “Cut Above” treasures, plus a bake sale on Saturday.

That’s the reuse part of the weekend. The recycle part – a community-wide recycle roundup organized by the church’s Green Committee – will be Sunday, Sept. 12, 9 AM – 1 PM in the church parking lot. 1 Green Planet will accept and recycle a wide variety of items (see www.fauntleroyucc.org for the list), all for free. You bring it and, within minutes, it’s out of your life forever!

When 1 Green Planet came to Fauntleroy last February (photo above), they took away 4 truckloads of recyclables!

YEA YEA YEA! I was going through some old stuff this weekend and came across some electronics that need to go and was thinking, ok how to get rid of these. Now I have an answer! Used them last time and it was perfect.

Thanks for the info, WSB! Ditto to the comment by’coffee’. In addition to some unusable electronics, we also have a functioning 22″ TV. Am not sure whether they’ll accept that. I’d rather let someone use it, as opposed to recycling it.

See the link in the story (specifically, in Judy’s quote) for the list. Here’s the direct link you’ll be going to:

.
It says, TV’s of all sizes.

But if you’d rather give your TV away for free to someone who could use it, the WSB Forums have a Freebies/Deals/Sales section where you certainly can post about it- since we don’t have private messaging, I would advise setting up a “disposable” e-mail account you could post to correspond with interested parties, if you go that route.

This is fabulous! WSB comes through with timely, invaluable info once again!

Will they take carseats?

WSB September 8, 2010 (5:51 am)

Neighborly – the link to the list is in the story. If it’s not on the list, you certainly could contact 1 Green Planet to ask … Otherwise, WestSide Baby has had car-seat recycling events in the past and might be worth a check: http://www.westsidebaby.org – TR

How can I make a donation for the Saturday event?

WSB September 8, 2010 (1:10 pm)

If there’s not info about that on the Fauntleroy Church website – http://www.fauntleroyucc.org – I’d suggest giving them a call … TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
