Bring your old paint, paperwork, electronics, and clothing, etc. Let’s get it to a better place. ♻️
NO RSVP NEEDED BUT IT DOES HELP US PLAN DOUGHNUTS AND COFFEE 🍩 ☕️
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about homeowners, it’s this: we have absolutely no idea what to do with old paint. It just… stays. In the garage. In the basement. For years.
I’m Mel Parsons, your local real estate agent, and I finally decided it’s time to deal with mine. If you’ve got stacks of paperwork, mystery cords, clothes that don’t fit, a pile of old printer cartridges, or a cupboard full of reusable water bottles… this is your moment.
Load up your car and swing by for a productive morning to clear the clutter. This is an easy, drive-through event—pull up, pop the trunk, and we’ll help you unload!
We’ll be shredding, recycling, and collecting donations—all in one stop. ALL FREE!
What you can bring: bag & box up according to the categories below. Follow the links for more details.
PAINT RECYCLING
Latex, oil-based, spray paint, stains, primers, sealers—bring the cans you’ve been holding onto for years.
DOCUMENT SHREDDING
We’ll have a secure shred truck on-site!
Quick prep tip: Please remove non-paper binders, large clips, and plastic folders. Staples and small paperclips are usually okay, but the cleaner the stack, the faster the process. CLICK HERE FOR A QUICK GUIDE OF WHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO SHRED.
SMALL ELECTRONICS, CORDS, CHARGERS, PRINTER CARTRIDGES, & BATTERIES
Think portable electronics, chargers, cables, headphones, and all those random cords stuck in the back of your drawer. SEE FULL LIST HERE.
CLOTHING & HOUSEHOLD LINEN FOR MARY'S PLACE
Everyday clothing items, towels, sheets, blankets, coats, boots, and reusable water bottles (with lids)! Clean, gently used/new items. See their most needed LIST HERE
FOOD & HYGIENE DONATIONS FOR NORTH HELPLINE
We’ll be collecting their most-needed items, hygiene, and shelf-stable foods. See the LIST HERE
Coffee + Top Pot doughnuts provided
Because if you’re cleaning out your garage, you deserve a little reward (or two)!
No judgment. Just less junk.
Swing by, clear the clutter, leave lighter. Do good.
