Saturday, December 8, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., The Exchange

— from Orcas Recycling Services/The Exchange —

Orcas Recycling Services/The Exchange announces it will be holding a holiday and one-year anniversary event to celebrate the re-opening of the reuse center following the devastating fire in 2013 that destroyed the original space. The event will take place on Saturday, December 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The community is invited to join the celebration and sip on complimentary apple cider while shopping for everyday items or stocking up on goodies for Christmas giving. Take advantage of special clothing discounts – two bags for the price of one (or $10) or place a bid on the one-day-only silent auction that will include unusual items such as original pottery, an early 1950s Lionel train set, and more.
