Costume Recycling at the Gleason Family YMCA (ALL DAY)
Recycled costumes will get a new life this Halloween. Many costumes are used only once and they still have life left in them, so we have created a recycling program to offer families a chance to purchase a reasonably priced costume this Halloween. We are looking for clean, gently used costumes that you will donate to this recycling program and in return you can get a voucher for $3 towards the purchase of another recycled costume at our Recycled Costume Sale on Saturday October 13th. Or if you are just looking to get rid of your old costumes as you clean out the house, please consider donating them today. Clean, gently used costumes can be dropped off at the Welcome Center Desk until October 12th. Reduce, Re-Use Recycle! Gleason Family YMCA, 33 Charge Pond Road, Wareham.
