To the editor:
Well, the 2024 season at the Wellesley Take & Leave is about to ‘wrap up,’ so to speak. The last day we are open for business will be Dec. 7, 2024. The season has been calm and relatively quiet and one would say almost ‘peaceful.’ There were no notable disagreements or tug-of-wars over items claimed first at the ‘enchanting’ Reusables area. At times, in the past we have had some verbal exchanges that generally involve the claim of residency. Some folks assume that other folks may not live in Wellesley…this can be a constant refrain from some.
As RDF Friends of Recycling volunteers we are not allowed to inquire where one resides. Having items left at the Take & Leave is a recycling effort, and anything that gets taken away saves the town of Wellesley money by avoiding expensive land fill costs.
We look forward to another rewarding season next year.
Enjoy the upcoming holidays.
