By  | 

THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS – The Woodlands Township will host the 3R Bazaar on Saturday, November 9, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. to noon at The Woodlands Farmer’s Market at Grogan’s Mill, 7 Switchbud Place.

Join The Woodlands Township for the 3R Bazaar on Saturday, November 9, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. to noon at The Woodlands Farmer’s Market, 7 Switchbud Place. Super Recyclers will be on site to answer questions about curbside recycling and other local environmental programs.

Join the Township in celebrating the environment by bringing select items for free recycling, learning about local recycling opportunities, supporting local artists who feature recycled materials and participating in green activities for the whole family.

To promote recycling beyond curbside service, attendees are asked to bring used batteries (Alkaline AA, AAA, C, D and 9V), eyeglasses, textiles and oral care products for recycling. Residents can earn scholarship money for their village by bringing alkaline batteries for the Village Recycling Challenge. The event will also include secure on-site document shredding for a donation of five cans of food or $5 per box. All proceeds benefit Interfaith Food Pantry.
