NEW! Recyclables and Happy Scraps donation changes at

DuPage Children’s Museum

 

Naperville, IL (September 7, 2006) – Do you donate happy scraps or recyclables to DuPage Children’s Museum (DCM) to support their children’s programs?  If so, this news is for you! 

 

DCM will no longer accept donations of recyclables or happy scraps in the outside bins at the Museum. The collection bins on the west side of the building have been removed.  This does not affect the donation of wood.  Wood donations will continue to be accepted outside the dock area, as before.

 

In place of the previous happy scraps and recyclables bins, the Museum will now be accepting donations on a bi-monthly basis via drop-offs.  The first of these new dates is Saturday, October 7, when donations will be accepted at the back of the parking lot, along the railroad tracks from 2-5 p.m.   The Museum will also accept donations on the following Saturdays:   December 9, February 10, April 14 and June 2.

 

For a comprehensive list of items needed on each date, please visit the Museum, call 630-637-8000 ext. 6660 or send an email to happyscraps@dupagechildrensmuseum.org.
