Easy Green Weekend Project: National Recycling Day Events Saturday AND Sunday!
Time to clean out the basement! This Sunday is National Recycling Day. What better time to clean up than right before the holidays hit?
All across the country there will be events designed to make recycling easy – especially for those “special items” that aren’t always picked up. However, the national list here has broken links to the Maryland events, so I’m summarizing those I’m aware of the four Montgomery County events – in Bethesda, Silver Spring, and Germantown.
At each County Event, you can shred up to five small boxes of old bank statements and other personal documents for recycling. Donations of clean clothing, household goods and small furniture will also be collected to benefit The Arc of Montgomery County Thrift Store, Lupus Foundation of America, Vietnam Veterans of America, and National Children’s Center, Inc.. (And yes, you can get tax receipts for your donations!)

I’d love to say I’d join you, but that Swine Flu I last blogged about? It ran through the house, and then the nasty germs turned into bronchitis and laryngitis, from which I’m still recovering. So unfortunately, I think I’ll miss National Recycling Day! But tell me how it goes!
This post is for the Green Moms Carnival on Recycling, to appear on Sunday the 15th (On Recycling Day) at Recycle Your Day.
Leslie (aka @LaMamaNaturale on Twitter) of Recycle Your Day is one of the newer members of the Green Moms Carnival – it’s her first time hosting, so be sure to check out her site and all the great submissions from the wonderful women of the Green Moms Carnival!

This is an amazing idea. I’m having company over so I was going to be cleaning up anyway. I guess it’s time to get those boxes out and head to my nearest recycling center. Thanks for the post!
The National Recycling Day in our area had an impressive turnout. We actually had to stay open longer that originally scheduled due to terrific demand.
