What is Zero Waste Day?
ZWD is an opportunity for you to share your used but usable "stuff" with people in need
by bringing it to a central location (Wynn Middle School Parking Lot) where you can donate it to one
of nine local charities.

Can I get a receipt for my donations to use when filing next year’s taxes?
Many of the charities will provide receipts on their own letterhead, but you are also
welcome to create a letter, indicating the estimated fair market value of your donation,
and you may ask a representative from the charity to sign it.
ZWD volunteers are not qualified to estimate value of items and are not authorized to sign receipts.
Did I hear that I can recycle electronics at a reduced cost?
Indeed you did! For a nominal fee, the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation will responsibly
recycle your TVs, appliances, and other small electronics. Normally, these items
require curbside pickup through Appliance Recyclers, but you will recognize the
following savings if you bring your items to ZWD.
