TerraCycle Include USA
Norcross Community Market is adding recycling for the June 13 online farmers market, even while it cannot safely gather in groups just yet. In partnership with Gwinnett Recycles and the Sustainable Norcross Commission of the City of Norcross, Norcross Community Market will again accept the following hard to recycle items. Just drop them off on Saturdays, June 13, between 9 and 11 am when picking up your online order. Both drop-off of recyclables and pick-up of fresh items will be at the Norcross City Hall. TerraCycle will recycle empty toothpaste tubes and floss containers, empty haircare product tubes, bottles, and spray triggers, empty cosmetics packaging such as lipstick cases, mascara tubes, and eyeshadow cases, empty deodorant containers and caps. ReCork will make products out of your natural wine corks (no plastic please). EcoSneakers will distribute your shoes, especially sneakers, in any condition to folks in need or recycle them to make basketball court surfaces. The City of Norcross and Advanced Disposal will recycle glass, rinsed clean of any contamination. The market will also repurpose clean blue jeans, fabric scraps, sewing notions, yarn, etc. Clean, old towels and blankets and empty, clean medicine bottles (labels removed) will be donated to a pet rescue. Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries will distribute any unopened hotel toiletries or full-sized personal care items to people in need. The Norcross Lion’s Club and its Lighthouse will take eyeglasses, hearing aids, and cell phone donations.
