Round up all of your unwanted household goods and giddy up to Durham’s first ReUse Rodeo this Earth Day, on Saturday, April 22 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event, to be held in the parking lot of The Shoppes at Lakewood at 2050 Chapel Hill Road, Durham, will provide you with an opportunity to drop off your gently used items at this “one-stop drop” event to be repurposed back into the community.

Accepted items include books, clothing, furniture, electronics, household appliances, cookware, tools, craft supplies, miscellaneous household items, and more. All items should be clean and in working order. A complete list of accepted items can be found on the ReUse Rodeo event page<http://keepdurhambeautiful.org/reuse-rodeo/>.
