TRENTON, NJ – As National Garage Sale Day (August 10^th) approaches, nearly 9 million Americans will enjoy the warm weather and the thrill of scoring great deals. But what happens to the items that don’t sell? If they can’t be donated, you can recycle these unclaimed treasures with TerraCycle.

“On average, about 30% of items at garage sales end up in the trash,” said Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle. “Instead of tossing those unsold garage sale items, why not recycle them?
