Join us for the Earth Day Windermere Cleanup on April 22nd to celebrate the planet we call home!

Here at Currents we want to make it easy for you to do your spring cleaning! On April 22nd from 11am-2pm , you can drop off your recyclables and eco station items for free in our designated bins provided by City Ecobag Ltd. and City Disposal Containers Inc. In exchange families will receive a Red Spruce seedling and a chance to spin to win gift cards from a variety of Currents retailers including P.F. Chang’s, California Pizza Kitchen, Browns, Lola’s Fashion’s, Frilly Lilly and The Mash!* All this will be taking place in our Windermere Cineplex parking lot!
