Ridwell Pickup Reminder!

Please have your donations at UUCM by noon on May 20. This pick up’s Featured Category is yarn and fleece scraps, at least 1’x1′. The response to Ridwell has been terrific but we need your help to follow the rules: 

  • Clean plastics, dump out crumbs, rinse and allow to dry. 
  • Bag all items 
  • Only drop off items that are our Featured Item or regular items (multilayer plastic, plastic film, styrofoam, light bulbs, threads and shoes)
  • Please sort your plastic into film and multi-layer. If you have questions, please contact Kathy (612.590.9606) or Sue(612.703.2297) for help. Please do not leave bags or loose mixed items for us to sort. Better still, come spend an our with us as we sort and prepare for each pick up (every other Monday) and you’ll get valuable hands-on experience!
