Recycle Lights, Phones and Coats; Donate New Toys

Are you buying a new winter jacket? Do you have holiday lights that no longer work? Did your kids get duplicate toys this year? Did Santa bring you a new cell phone?

If you have items you’d like to toss but aren’t sure what to do with them, a number of collections are taking place in Roswell and items can be dropped off right at Goodwill Stores - Donation Center.

One collection seeking new items and not used ones is Toys for Tots. New, unwrapped toys are being sought for children in the area. Though the 2012 campaign is over, if you still have toys that need to be collected e-mail the North Atlanta Marine Toys for Tots Foundation at christmastoys@att.net.

If you have coats you no longer need, donations are always collected at North Fulton Community Charities and Thrift Store.

Cell phones piling up because you have the newest and best that technology has to offer? Drop off used cells at Roswell Recycling Center.

Is your organization collecting donations this holiday season? Let us know. Leave a note in comments or e-mail Local Editor Christine Foster at christine.foster@patch.com
