10am – 2pm
City of Lake Forest Park
City Hall, lower level Town Center
Bothell at Ballinger Way NE
You are invited to the Choose to Reuse event where your unwanted household items you thought about taking to the dump may now find a new home!
This event is designed to divert goods from the waste stream and make them available to neighbors and non-profits who can use them.
Heard the saying, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!? Not only can you bring down unwanted household items, but you can pick up items to reuse or repurpose! You do not have to drop something off to pick something up.
To drop items off, bring your Choose to Reuse postcard or proof of LFP residency, but remember ANYONE can take items home. Cutoff for dropping items off is 1:00pm.
Review the list of acceptable items you can bring to the event. All items must be in good working order! If the item is accepted, someone will then have the opportunity to bring it home to reuse or repurpose.
