Daylight Savings: Clean Up and Green Up Recycle, Repurpose and Reuse event November 6, 2011

Daylight Saving Clean Up and Green Up, a free community-wide recycle, repurpose and reuse event, put on by Michigan Green Consortium from 9am until 3pm on Sunday, November 6, 2011, will be held on the grounds of American Waste’s facility at 280 Hughes Drive in Traverse City.

The event, held twice a year the morning following the time change, encourages local area residents to bring difficult-to-recycle items, items that have salvageable components or materials and items that can be repurposed or reused to one central location for collection. The upcoming November 6th event will be the fifth such event put on by the Michigan Green Consortium and entirely free of charge for the community at large.
