Fruitcakes Recycled:

Posts Tagged ‘holiday’

Answer: When it’s a fruitcake purchased at Family Dollar Store for $1.

They were thoughtful enough to scribble out the $1, and then left on the Family Dollar Store sticker so the recipient would still know how little they really care.

National Fruitcake Toss Day is celebrated the first Sunday of January. That means this year it is today, January 3.

What is this day about? Getting rid of fruitcakes that have accumulated during the holiday season. You could be irresponsible and throw them in the trash, if you like, but The Great Fruitcake Recycling Project has a much better idea: send them to us for recycling. That way, you will be honoring the tradition of getting rid of your fruitcakes, and show your concern for the environment by recycling. You’ll look like a hero.

Send your securely wrapped fruitcakes to:

The Great Fruitcake Recycling Project
c/o Garage Sale Industries
PO Box 19323
Denver, CO 80219

Make sure to include your return address with your fruitcake so we can send your “Fruitcake Contributor” button.

Of course,  if you really want to celebrate the day, you can save them until Saturday to use them at the Manitou Springs Great Fruitcake Toss, and then send them to us after you participate. We’re okay with that, too. As long as they don’t end up causing irreparable environmental damage in the landfill, everyone wins.

This holiday is celebrated every year on December 27. Supposedly, people get together to honor and eat the fruitcakes they’ve received for Christmas.

The Great Fruitcake Recycling Project  challenges you to act more responsibly this year. Use the national attention of this day to run your own Fruitcake Roundup. Gather up all the fruitcakes from your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers before they end up in the landfill. Box them and send to us for recycling. You’ll be saving the planet from the devastating environmental impact of fruitcake proliferation.
