East Brunswick’s Freecycling Day is a great way to unload useable, unwanted household items in an environmentally-friendly way.
Freecycling is set for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 6 at the East Brunswick Community Arts Center, 721 Cranbury Road. Rain date is Oct. 13.
There is no charge to participate in this “free trade” event and all items must be offered for free.
Items may be dropped off for freecycling at the Community Arts Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. with browsing and pickup until 2 p.m. In the event of rain, visit friendsebec.com for an update.
Recommended freecycling items include clothing, shoes, bicycles, fish tanks, dishes, pots and pans, toys, silverware, small appliances, tools, power tools, kitchen items, garage items, electronics and pet supplies. Large furniture pieces will not be accepted. It is recommended that boxed toys, games and anything with small parts be taped shut.
Prohibited items include mattresses, televisions, computer monitors, paints, VHS tapes, computer disks, pesticides, tires, toiletries, unframed mirrors, food or any hazardous materials. The Friends of EBEC reserves the right to reject items.
Volunteers are needed to help staff the event. Information can be found at friendsebec.com/freecycling.htm.
