Lighten the load this weekend

26 September 2012

If you have expired or unwanted medications cluttering up your bathroom or kitchen, this Saturday, September 29 from 10 am to 2 pm is the semi-annual National Take Back Initiative, organized by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Between those hours you can drop off medications at a law-enforcement for proper disposal. Just click on the link to find disposal sites near you. The event is taking place nationwide.

If you’re in St. Louis, there’s a shredding and recycling event called Shred it to Fix It, also on September 29 from 10 to 2. Bring your paper for shredding and appliances for recycling to the parking log at Chesterfield Mall (near Jared the Galleria of Jewelry). Paper and cardboard will be shredded and recycled for a $5 donation per box. Computers, cell phones, monitors, etc. will be accepted at no charge. Shredding is provided by American Document Destruction

Funds raised will benefit Rebuilding Together St. Louis." This organization helps elderly, disabled and veteran St. Louisans rebuild their home at no cost.
