An opportunity for recycling unique commodities, the event will offer collection of alkaline batteries, eyeglasses, gently worn clothing and flip flops! Attendees can support their village by bringing old toothbrushes, empty toothpaste tubes and floss containers for the new Village Challenge, the Terracycle Oral Care Brigade®!

Secure on-site shredding of personal documents will also be offered. A donation of five cans of food or $5 per bank box will benefit Interfaith Food Pantry.

Spotlighting its holiday line, Buy Recycled Boutique, will open its doors one day only during the event. Provided in partnership with The Woodlands G.R.E.E.N., the annual trunk show features unique and trendy items made from recycled materials. From high tech to handcrafted, everything at the Buy Recycled Boutique has a story.
