Holidays 2012: 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 Southern Lehigh and items can be dropped off right at the Salvation Army on 309. 

If you have coats you no longer need, donations are being collected through KNBT Annual Coat Drive. 

Cell phones piling up because you have the newest and best that technology has to offer? Have old holiday lights that no longer work? Maybe you switched colors or swapped old lights for LED ones?  

Is your organization collecting donations this holiday season? Let us know. Leave a note in comments or e-mail Local Editor Elizabeth Rich at elizabeth.rich@patch.com.
