The Chicago Green Theatre Alliance will host the 5th Annual E-Waste/Textile Drive and Costume Exchange for the Chicago theater community this weekend.
The event will take place at Steppenwolf’s Merle Reskin Garage Theatre, 1624 N. Halsted, May 31 – June 2, and early drop off begins May 30 between 12 PM – 5 PM.
The alliance is encouraging theaters to clean out their closets and bring any unused costumes, shoes and accessories, batteries, and e-waste (anything that plugs in or uses a battery except old TVs and CRT monitors). Additionally, theaters can browse donated items for future productions. Whatever is left will be recycled by the Alliance.
