Got Peanuts?

20 April, 2013

recyclePacking peanuts, that is.  If you think they have to end up in the landfill, think again. Our very own UPS store at 1257 Worcester Rd ( Route 9 near Temple street) will re-uses your peanuts so you don’t have to throw them away.  And better yet, you can bring them with you to the Earth Day festival on April 27th, and recycle them right there at their booth!
