The RDF is only open to Wellesley residents.


When I swung by on Thursday morning there was a small but focused group of treasure hunters sifting through items, and a few volunteers (thank you!) in bright vests sorting out incoming items.  I dropped off an eclectic few boxes of stuff, including a Red Sox snow globe, old hockey pucks, and some puzzles… and there’s more to come.
