The most popular annual "Recycle for Good" event in Lukang Town, Changhua County is here again! This year it will be held at the Lukang Town Office Square from 9 a.m. on the 9th. Since there is no used clothes recycling bin in Lukang Town, this year, 10 pieces of used clothes can be exchanged for facial masks. The more used clothes you have, the more items you can redeem. Because in the past, the site would be piled up into a mountain of used clothes. This year, it is determined that only the amount that can be loaded by 3 trucks will be accepted. If it is full, it will not be accepted!

Shi Shengjian, chairman of the Lukang Health Promotion Association, which organized the event, said that many people in Lukang took advantage of the annual opportunity to get rid of old clothes at home, and many people even brought a large box with them, not even taking exchange items. Because the quantity is too huge every year, this year we decided to limit the quantity, that is, until 3 trucks are full.
