As part of Chestnuthill Township’s Earth Day Activities In Monroe County, Close the Loop Company will be coordinating a give and take day on April 6 at the Chestnuthill Township Park on Route 715 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. GIVE,  1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. TAKE.

Give and Take Days are a great way to reuse items that are too good to throw away but you just don’t have a use for them anymore – just bring along any reusable items between 11am and 1pm, then take away anything you want from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. – it’s free! (you don’t have to bring something to take something).

Example of what you can bring: household goods, pots/pans, books, CDs, DVDs, toys, bric-a-brac, bikes, plants, kitchenware, garden tools, furniture (must be in good shape to be accepted), gently used clothes, etc.

Examples of things that will not be accepted: electronics, TV’s, computer monitors, tires, HHW, etc.  Note: Township residents can take electronics to the Township Recycling Center at no charge.

You must provide your own vehicle for transporting items.  There will be volunteers assisting and reviewing the items being dropped off.

For more information, or to volunteer please call 570-629-8414.   Additional information can be found at the Close The Loop website.   Watch a video from 2012's Give & Take Day.

Donations will be accepted that day for the GARDEN OF GIVING non-profit who provides high quality vegetables and eggs for Monroe County food banks.  Special thanks to RSVP and Junkologist website for volunteering!
