Need to weed out a few things? This is advance notice of the our Houston Sierra annual yard sale, where you can ‘recycle’ no longer needed items.  The planned date for this year’s sale is Saturday, May 6, to be held at “CORAZON Fair Trade”, 2318 Waugh (at the corner with Fairview in Montrose).  We will gladly accept most saleable items, including clothing, knickknacks, furniture, books, etc. We also need help the day of the sale, particularly for the morning set up and the afternoon knock-down. To donate items, either bring them to the General Meeting on April 13, or you may drop off items at CORAZON (713-526-6591) during the week immediately prior to the sale (but not before). For earlier drop offs, or if you have questions, check with Frank Blake at frankblake@juno.com

Please bag or box up smaller items. Large objects such as furniture would be best delivered to the site on the morning of the sale. If you have workable appliances, electronics, etc. to donate, securely attach an index card that describes the condition of the item, and any information a potential buyer would need to know. This is important! If we don’t know the workability of an item, we are forced to sell it for far less than its potential value. Please DO NOT  BRING broken or obsolete computers, computer peripherals, or non-working electronics. Those items should go directly to an e-waste recycling facility.

This event is one of the Houston Group’s annual fundraising efforts. All proceeds go to support the Houston Group and its local conservation and educational programs. For more info or to volunteer, contact Frank Blake at frankblake@juno.com or 713-528-2896.
