Just a quick 'thank you' to everyone who participated in our first-ever Community Garage Sale today! Many of you opened your yards or came down to Alden Park to sell your stuff and put a little extra jingle in your pockets. Now that it's over, what should you do with all that leftover stuff you didn't sell? Here are some good ideas:
- Donate it to your local thrift store. You can help the needy with your old clothes.
- The Animal Shelter could always use those extra towels, blankets, and throw-rugs for the dogs and cats there.
- Perhaps the local library or school could use your used books.
- Or the neighborhood doctor's office might want your old magazines, if you don't recycle them.
Be sure to get a receipt for your donation(s); you can write it off on your taxes if you itemize. If you just plan on just throwing it away, remember: Tracy's "Fall Clean Up Event" is Monday, October 22nd, so you could put out some of your leftovers at the curb with your garbage pickup that morning. "eWaste" like old computers, TVs, and cell phones, (and anything else with a battery) should disposed earlier on Saturday, October 20th, at 520 S. Tracy Blvd., from 9am to 1pm. Don't put it out with your regular garbage; dispose of it properly. Help save the planet and let the Tracy City-Wide garage sale theme "Make Every Day Earth Day" live on!
