by Kristen Tsapis 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hello Everyone, I just want to make sure as many people as possible know about this. And you don't want to find out afterwards! If you are in need of electronics disposal and want to make sure it is done in an environmentally proper way, at no cost to you, look no further. The Wilkins School Community Center in Regent Square and Goodwill Industries will have a collections site at the Center (7604 Charleston Ave) from 10am until 2pm on Saturday Oct 10th. Goodwill guarantees all parts and pieces are reused if possible, or sold for scrap, or properly disposed of. Hard Drives can be destroyed at your request. Nothing is shipped overseas, nothing is illegally dumped. This program enables Goodwill to employ those with disabilities and provide them with a supportive work environment. In addition Donate bikes you've been meaning to get rid of to Free Ride, and attend a bike workshop

[Highland Park] Glider/rocker and yardwork?
by Robert Hickam 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi all, With the recent birth of our daughter, I thought I'd ask the Highland Park listerv a couple of questions: 1). Does anyone have a good glider/rocker they're looking to sell? My wife and I are at our wit's end trying to find something for our daughter's nursery (preferably something basic with a high back). 2). Does anyone have recommendations for someone who would do a fall yard clean-up (raking leaves, tackling our ridiculously overgrown hedge, a last mow, etc.)? Thanks! Robert and Anna on Hampton St. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141665/direct/01/

[Highland Park] Fw: Off the Floor
by Alfred Mann 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

e-BlastWe have publicized Off-the-Floor from time to time on this Listserv. This item published by Construction Junction contains an excellent piece on Off-the-Floor. Al Mann ----- Original Message ----- From: Construction Junction To: alfred.mann(a)verizon.net Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 1:13 PM Subject: Off the Floor September 28- October 4, 2009 Off the Floor Construction Junction's mission is to promote conservation through the reuse of building materials. Naturally, our store is our primary conduit for acheiving this mission, but we also work to promote and support reuse throughout the region. That's why we highlight artists/craftspeople doing beautiful things with reclaimed materials and tell you about great events like Handmade Arcade or PRC's Hard to Recycle events. In that vein... Off the Floor Pittsburgh is a volunteer based organization started in 2004. It provides basic used furniture like beds, dressers, tables, and chairs to the neediest families in Pittsburgh who lack these items and are literally living on the floor of their homes (PG article). Off the Floor's supply of donated furniture is critically low as the holidays approach and they're swinging open their doors on Saturday, October 17th from 9 am to 1 pm, to remedy this situation and replenish their stock. Refreshments will be provided along with tax-deductible receipts. Off the Floor's warehouse is located at the Pittsburgh Presbytery, 901 Allegheny Ave (near Heinz Field). For more information goto their website or call 412-926-5053. If you can't bring items that day, fill out an online donation form to have Off the Floor pick up your items at a later date. Please consider donating your gently used excess furniture items to Off The Floor. By doing so you can help transform the lives of the neediest families in Pittsburgh. Off the Floor does accept: box springs, mattresses, bed frames, bunk beds, couches, chairs, end tables, coffee tables, night stands, dressers/chest of drawers, lamps, linens/blankets/comforters, small appliances (toasters/coffee pots), vacuum cleaners, cribs, crib mattrasses, hi-chairs, strollers, and pack-n-plays. Off the Floor does not accept: sofabeds, recliners, futons, refrigerators or other large appliances, china cabinets, large buffets, cots or roll away beds, trundle beds, large rugs, TV's, vanity's, headboards/footboards, mirrors, used pillows, computers and toys. The CJ Buzz Bonnie our donation manager, and CJ's pre-emanant Master of Buzz, says that CJ is going to be getting a ton of paint soon and that "kitchen season" has arrived. Bonnie expects we'll be getting at least one kitchen a day for the next two weeks (10/2 to 10/16/09). In addition to kitchen season, it's also "insulation season" and as such we're acquiring a shipment of gently used XPS and ISO rigid foam insulation (1" to 2" thick). It'll be on the sales floor starting next Friday (10/9/2009). That's good buzz!
