Itmes for Sale to Benefit T2T

You may have seen our event on Facebook, "Garage Sale/Fundraiser." Last Sunday one of our special Trash 2 Treasure family members donated almost a whole house full of items to sell off to help make money for the center! We are so grateful to her! BUT THERE'S LEFTOVER STUFF!!!!
 
Here are some of the items we now have to get rid of FAST!
* King Size Mattress & Box Springs (barely used, and always used with DOUBLE covers)
* Baldwin Upright Piano, manufactured circa late '40s. Impeccable condition and tuned
* Twin Size Bunk Beds, solid wood, with mattresses
* Big Screen TV, rear-projection, Energy Star rated
* Large Gas Grill with Side Burners, a little old but works great
* 10' x 13' Area Rug, Sea Grass, beautiful, easy cleaning natural fiber rug with non-slip backing
* ANTIQUE dresser with vanity mirror, solid oak, AMAZING detailing
 
We only have a short time to sell these items, less than a couple of days, and then we'll have to re-donate them to another charity. PLEASE HELP THE CENTER BY SHARING THIS WITH FRIENDS!!!! Everything is priced to SELL QUICK!!
 
For more info, please call our volunteer, Veezie, and she will provide you with details and arrange to show you the pieces: (954)549-9044.

Trash2Art 2011 Zero Waste Event

 

Once again this year, the Trash2Art reception will be a Zero Waste event.  Thanks to our partners and thoughtful planning, the goal is to have an event in which none of its by-products are sent to a disposal site.

Our food and beverage sponsors, Le Bistro, Whole Foods-Fort Lauderdale and Emerald Isle Recycling will be providing items that require as little packaging as possible and are recyclable through our partners.

Choice Environmental will collect traditional recyclables such as wine bottles, paper, and cans.  Rehrig Pacific will be providing the collection carts.   Broward College's TerraCycle program will be recycling and upcycling plastic cups and other items that are included in their program.  Edge Recycling will assist with the recycling of the less traditional items such as plastic film, nontraditional plastics and styrofoam.  Trash to Treasure will provide composting of food waste and paper napkins through backyard composting.

At the event, our "trash talkers" will help guide visitors to the appropriate receptacles to dispose of items.

All cups, glasses, plates, and napkins used during the reception have been donated to Trash to Treasure.

Please join us on Thursday, September 15, 2011 from 6-8 PM at Art Serve in Fort Lauderdale.
