The Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission will sponsor a Freecycling Day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 5 in the parking lot at Crystal Springs Family Aquatic Center, Dunhams Corner Road.
Freecycling is an opportunity to donate and recycle virtually anything and to take away anything that someone else leaves. The trading event is free of charge. Items may be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and picked up until 3 p.m.
Recommended freecycling items include furniture, clothing and shoes, bicycles, fish tanks, dishes, pots and pans, silverware, small appliances, tools, screws and nails, power tools, kitchen items, garage items, electronics, pet supplies and bicycles. Participants may not bring mattresses, televisions, computer monitors, paints, pesticides or hazardous materials.
Usable items must be offered for free, or “freecycled.” Clothing, shoes and toys left at the end of the day will be picked up by Fashion Republic, a company that distributes the items for reuse elsewhere. Other leftover merchandise, along with unusable and broken items, will be recycled by R. Mor Enterprises.
