Overland Park Ks-City of

Focusing on the Overland Park Recycling Extravaganza that took place yesterday with this review.
25 Stars to Jim Twigg for putting together such a great event!!!
The traffic flow was good and smooth. It was amazing. One location took computers, TV’s and electronics for a small fee. Another took shredding for a donation to animal rescue. Pull around the curve and donations were taken for fabric, yarn, and sewing items. Next stop, a new non-​profit that takes shoes of all types for men, women and children and gives them away. They also take donations year round at their store Elite Feet in Hawthorne Plaza. ReStore and Goodwill were there. Lo and Behold Revolve was taking bicycles to refurbish and give to others who need transportation and their children. Yet another was taking medical equipment like wheelchairs and shower seats… to be sold at a very low price to those in need. Another was taking lawn mowers and equipment for use during community garden creating. It gets even better with someone taking books… all kinds of books and the profits from the sale of those will go to charity.
Last but not least and these guys get 25 Stars, too. The Overland Park Police officers were there taking expired medications. Throwing these down the toilet is bad for our water system… don’t do that. Save those and donate them during this event next year. They are destroyed properly when given to the officers.
If you missed this event this year… you missed out. Watch the Overview for next year when you can make these donations and get stuff you don’t want out of your house or apartment and either help others or help the environment.
What a beautiful day and fantastic event this was… all thanks to the City of Overland Park and the volunteers that offered to help make it possible.
