We want to say THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped make our 5th Annual Clean Up Day on Saturday, October 17 a success! Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Additionally, we want to give a big thank you to everyone who attended and brought materials for recycling. We processed 300 vehicles through our parking lot, recycling and disposing of electronic waste, Styrofoam, shredded paper, scrap metal, and old tires - all materials kept out of our landfills!

A big thank you to Washtenaw County as well for helping offset a portion of our costs through grant funding, for providing the tire trailer, and to everyone who made a donation to help cover the costs of this event.

Thank you and we'll see you next year!
