Recycle Rama -- Bigger and better than ever!



While I'm aware that this posting will have no particular relevance to a vast majority of you, I wanted to post this for a couple of reasons. One, for those of you in the Pittsburgh (particulary the North Hills sections) area, this is an awesome event. There is no better time to rid your home of unnecessary and/or unusable stuff!!And two, if you are not in the Pittsburgh area, why not organize a Recycle Rama in your own hometown? This is such a valuable and responsible event that keeps getting bigger and better every year. I first learned about it last year and am excited to shared the info with you again.
