Weird Recycling

Take the opportunity to empty your closet, basement, and attic of unwanted belongings you’ve been holding on to and drop it off at Bombyx, where we’ll have bins ready to gather your stuff. Then spend some time getting to know your neighbors. The fun gets started at 9:30am and we'll wrap up by 12:30pm. 

We're delighted to partner with local organizations to offer hauling services and trash-related activities.

Lee Shuer will recreate Lucy's psychiatric help stand from Peanuts with peer support conversations for over-collectors (free).

David Ruggles Center for History and Education will present silkworm/cocoon lifecycle demonstrations

Meanwhile, folks from Swanson's, Hospice of the Fisher Home, Northampton RePair & ReUse, and Pedal People will be accepting the following items:

• Yarn, needles, thread, notions, sewing machines and other fiber equipment

• Clothing, bedding (NOT bed pillows), curtains, accessories, and jewelry

• Housewares in good working order including appliances, light fixtures, tools, pet supplies, garden equipment

• Entertainment items such as toys, games, puzzles, sports equipment, books, arts and craft supplies

• Broken electronics, scrap metal, recyclable batteries, fluorescent bulbs

PLEASE DO NOT BRING:
Mattresses, furniture, styrofoam, motor oil, paint solvents, or similar chemicals, or anything you can’t carry or move with a cart yourself

While we're in the giving mood, we'll also be collecting (new) items for the Northampton Survival Center! Click here to see what's most needed.
