Helping the environment and making money has never been so easy. Make some extra cash at the city of West Hollywood’s first free city-wide yard sale, one of the environmental-friendly events planned for “WehoGrnWknd” (West Hollywood Green Weekend) to be held on Saturday, May 14, 2011 and Sunday, May 15, 2011, the city said in an announcement.
“By coordinating residents' yard sales we hope to encourage the West Hollywood community to keep useful items out of the landfill,” said West Hollywood Councilman Jeffrey Prang, in a statement.
“Reuse is much better than recycling. Our goal is to once a year, turn West Hollywood into a city-wide thrift shop, helping the environment, our wallets and the community,” Prang said.
For one weekend, West Hollywood is turning into a citywide estate sale and will help you promote your sale by listing the location and time on the city’s website! Cruise for bargains all over town and go green by reducing waste and keeping valuable resources out of the landfill. Whether you’re trying to clear out your attic or searching for secondhand treasures, reusing items is one of the smartest ways to reduce waste.
All participants must register for the “WehoGrnWknd” with the City of West Hollywood, just as you would for any other yard sale within the City. Participants are required to abide by all City regulations pertaining to yard/garage sales. Pre-registration to participate will be required as limited permits will be granted.
Also taking place during WehoGrnWknd, the City of West Hollywood is sponsoring a free Document Shredding and E-Waste Collection on Saturday, May 14, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at West Hollywood City Hall, 8300 Santa Monica Boulevard.
