Naperville is hosting its third annual Reuse and Recycle Extravaganza this Saturday (6/6/09) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Alcatel -Lucent, 1960 Lucent Lane, Naperville. This is a great opportunity to “greenly” dispose of those items that are just filling up space in the basement or garage. And it’s free!
