Knowing how and when and where to properly dispose of unused items in your home can feel overwhelming. So overwhelming that those items often end up in the back of the closet instead of taking the risk that they’ll end up in the landfill. We’re not judging. How do you think we understand that reality? Have no fear! Join us for America Recycles Day at the Dallas Farmers Market this weekend as we come together to celebrate sustainability. Bring your batteries, electronics, and textiles to us on Saturday, November 15, knowing that our trusted vendors will responsibly recycle them, and discover local businesses and organizations leading the way in eco-friendly practices and green living.
