Cambridge’s Recycling Advisory Committee (RAC) is organizing a Free Store on Sunday, June 1 at the Cambridge Community Center, 5 Callender St. to help reduce move out waste.

Residents and community members can organize an event anytime between September 14 and 22, though Sunday, September 15 is the official event day. We are hoping community members will plan events (e.g. cookout, block party, service project, etc.) that can bring together neighbors — in a way that works for them! Did you know that the City of Cambridge offers $300 awards and free Play Streets kits to support neighborhood block parties?
