Clear out your clutter! York Region has been partnering with Goodwill for the past four years offering reuse drop-off events to residents. Last year the Region held four reuse events in May, June, and October at locations in East Gwillimbury, Richmond Hill and Vaughan. Thanks to the efforts of donors and York Region Staff, we collected over 19,000 kg of reusable goods in 2006, which is over twice the amount collected in 2005.
This fall, York Region and Goodwill will be holding three reuse events!
