Not sure what to do with your old electric shaver

Not sure what to do with your old electric shaver or trimmer?
Old electronic personal care devices like hair dryers, flat irons, or electric toothbrushes sitting in your bathroom drawer?
Over 88 million Americans use an electric or battery shaver or trimmer…
Panasonic wants them! They accept a variety of devices from multiple brands!
Panasonic has a vision to advance a more circular supply chain and has teamed up with three recycling partners to responsibly recycle your old electronic personal care devices. Their partners will deconstruct, evaluate, and remanufacture eligible components like lithium-ion batteries into new critical electronic components.
All you need to do is fill out a simple form and one of their recycling partners, ERI, will send you a prepaid return shipping label via email. Once you ship out your device, Panasonic will send you a one-time use discount code for 30% off their new and more sustainable grooming tool, MultiShape.
Check out their website to read more and participate: PanasonicMultiShape.com

Christmas Light Recycling is back again this Year!

Christmas Light Recycling is back again this Year!
Once again, Sustainable Moorestown and Moorestown Hardware are partnering to collect and recycle old decor lighting from residents. The lights will be recycled as part of Burlington County’s electronic waste recycling program. Last year Sustainable Moorestown and Moorestown Hardware were able to collect TONS of old lights for recycle that would have otherwise ended up in the landfill.
There is a box inside the hardware store where you can place your lights starting now until late January.

WE HAVE A WINNER! Big thanks to Suz of Laurel Cree

WE HAVE A WINNER! Big thanks to Suz of Laurel Creek for Adopting a Drain! Send us your photo of your clean drain and you will win a prize too!!! Suz, why did you adopt a drain? “When drains back up the water has no place to go and can flood our homes and businesses. As a busy healthcare professional, mom and grand mom, it’s a small commitment I can make to our community. “-Suz from Laurel Creek. With all the falling leaves this month, please adopt a drain to keep our waterways safe. #sustainablemoorestown #adoptadrain#communityservice

It’s time to Adopt-A-Drain!!! Sustainable Moores

It’s time to Adopt-A-Drain!!! Sustainable Moorestown needs your help! With storms coming please clear your storm drains to reduce flooding and reduce water pollution. Storm drains flow directly to local lakes, rivers, and wetlands, acting as a conduit for trash and organic pollutants. Please adopt a storm drain near your home (and even the drain near an elderly neighbor’s) and keep it clear of leaves, trash, and other debris to reduce water pollution. Here’s what you need to do:

Sweep leaves, trash and other debris off the drain surface year round. Helpful tools for cleaning

You might want these tools for cleaning your drain: a broom, a rake, a trash grabber, gloves, an orange cone and/or safety vest, a snow shovel or dustpan, and a pail or yard waste bag. Watch for traffic. Thank you for making our beautiful Moorestown Sustainable! #adoptastormdrain #sustainablemoorestown

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BEEKEEPER Most beekeepers and

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BEEKEEPER

Most beekeepers and small apiaries don't keep bees to get rich. They do it to have a positive impact on the environment and on society. In fact, if you were to take a look at a beekeeper's books, you'd find that most if not all of the revenue they generate goes right back into caring for their bees. Supporting your local beekeeper does a few things.

1. Keep money in your local economy, just as you do when you support other types of local small businesses.
2. Ensure a sustainable positive impact on the environment in your neighborhood and the surrounding area, not to mention curbing pollution by using a product that might have only traveled a few miles as opposed to a few hundred or a few thousand miles.
3. Get the best of your local flora which can be healthier and more beneficial than general commercial honey. You also know exactly what you're putting in your body, which is a luxury you don't get with the commercial brands on the grocery store shelf.
