Google Favorite Place

Trash to Treasure has been designated a "Google Favorite Place".  This designation is "based on Google users' interaction with local business listings."  Each Favorite Place gets a window sticker with at QR code.  Smartphone can read the code which you can use to:

• Read reviews to see what other users think about the business
• Find a coupon that the business has posted to their Place Page
• Star the business to remember to check it out later, or to remember to visit again
• Leave a review right after you leave the business. What's a better time to write what you think, than when you've just visited?

 Check out the T2T listing here.  To celebrate, we are updating our coupons for the Center.  If you been putting off getting an annual membership or need to renew, take advantage of our coupons by March 31.

Wire You Waiting?

You have a box or bag or wires hidden in the closet from long retired phones, computers, and other electronics.  Sure you have been holding on to them thinking they will come in handy some day.  But you don't even know an Ethernet from a USB, so what should you do?

We have always taken these wires at Trash to Treasure.  But now we are aggressively pursuing them so that we can take advantage of the strong market for copper.

Recycling provides many economic opportunities to the United States.  In the case of scrap copper,  much of it is exported to China.  This reduces our trade deficit and returns to the US some of the money transferred to China from purchasing items made there.  The recycling process also provides jobs in the US as it goes from loose materials to a processed, bailed, exportable product.

The availability of scrap copper also reduces the need to import scrap copper primarily from Canada.

Also, the recycling process reduces pollution and environmental degredation.  The copper industry supports it.

So by bringing in those stray cords you can:

Help a nonprofit survive

Provide jobs in the community

Reduce environmental degradation

Reduce the trade deficit

Bring in your wires during our regular hours.  Thanks for your support.
Please cut off the large plugs.  Small plugs are OK.

SNOW WHITE -- THE MUSICAL

The classic Brothers Grimm tale is reborn with visually spectacular puppetry in this imaginative musical filled with inspired twists and turns. The familiar tale unfolds when the Queen's mirror reveals that Snow White is the fairest of them all. Antics with the seven dwarfs ensue as Snow White flees to the forest where she helps her friends and shows that true beauty comes from within. This energetic musical version is as enchanting and educational as ever.
