'Coats for Kids' Kicks Off Monday
Donating a coat to a child in need is as easy as leaving it at your curb. Recology drivers will pick up coats on Belmont trash collection days Nov. 4-8.
Recology San Mateo County is launching its annual Coats for Kids Program to collect new and gently used coats to donate to those in need of a warm coat during the cold weather season.
From Monday, November 4th through Friday, November 8th, drivers from Recology will collect coats curbside from residential homes on their collection day in Belmont.
Residents in the participating communities are asked to place coats in a clear plastic bag marked "Coats for Kids" and to then place the bag next to or on the top of their blue Recycle Cart on their regular collection day, during the week of November 4th to 8th.
Collection containers labeled "Coats for Kids" will also be placed at Belmont City Hall, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, and Belmont Fire Station 14 (911 Granada St), Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. Just look for the Recology wheeled collection carts that are labeled "Coats for Kids".
Note that the Coats for Kids "drop off" locations will be accepting coats from Monday Nov. 4 through Friday Nov. 15.
