Polishing Pinecrest

Join us for Polishing Pinecrest, a community event celebrating Earth Day on Saturday, April 18 from 8 am to noon at Evelyn Greer Park, 8200 SW 124th Street.

This year’s event features three exciting activities designed to help keep our Village clean and green.

The first activity is a free Drive-thru Recycling event. This event allows residents to drop off a variety of recyclables—electronics, chemicals, and clothing—all in one place without leaving their cars. Simply drive through, and the staff will unload your items. You can recycle:

• Electronics: phones, printers, batteries, computers, televisions, and fluorescent bulbs.
• Chemicals: paint, gasoline, caulking, aerosol cans, adhesives/glues, and household cleaners.
• Clothing: Only clean clothes that are new or slightly used.

These items will not be accepted: fertilizer, furniture, appliances, ammunition, cylinders, smoke detectors, pesticides, herbicides, oxidizers and tires.

The second is a Paper Shredding Service. On-site, your documents will be securely destroyed, and the shredded paper will be recycled.

Not accepted for paper shredding: large binder clips, plastic, metal, 3-ring binders or x-rays.

Finally, you can also contribute to the Clothing Donation. Have suits or work clothes? Donate gently used, modern, and high-quality professional attire (suits, blazers, blouses, dresses, and work shoes) to help individuals re-enter the workforce. Donations should be clean and in good condition.

Let's come together to make Pinecrest a cleaner, greener place to live. Mark your calendars for this Earth Day event and help us Polish Pinecrest.
