As we all know, when the pandemic arrived, things shut down, including many of the local shredding, e-cycling and hazardous waste collection events that many of us were looking forward to taking advantage of in the Spring.
Maybe things have been sitting in your garage since then…well now that things have eased up a bit, many of those events are being scheduled for the next few months.
I have put together a list of events that I have found on Facebook in the Greater Philadelphia Area.* Come back next Monday for events happening on Saturday September 26th!
If you don’t see anything listed here in your area make sure to check your local township’s website for events going on near you!
*Please be sure to check the links for things such as if the event is for residents only and for maximum number of boxes to shred.
