As April is typically a clean out month, I want to make you aware of two different opportunities to get rid of some items in your home.
First, this Saturday, April 28 is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Now you can safely get old and unused prescriptions (and over the counter medicines) out of your home easily. For more details and locations, click here.
Next, do you have unused toys? Hasbro is offering a pilot recycling program to recycle your unwanted toys. You start at the website, register, print the free shipping label and drop off the package. It’s that simple and keeps the toys out of landfills, click here to start.
For more resources and suggestions, please visit my website to get rid of your unwanted items.
