ecycling just became a lot easier for Hudson Valley parents. Be Green Kids Consignments, a seasonal kids
consignment event, will be holding their spring sale at the Fishkill Recreation Center April 30 through May 2.
Consignment events are a fast growing trend in the
current economy. At consignment events, new and gently-used children’s items are resold from parent-to-parent at prices up to 90 percent off retail. Additionally, families can register to consign and make money from selling their old items. Be Green Kids co-owner Alison Murphy, a native to the
Hudson Valley, says, “Consignment sales are a great way for families to be green. Through our Be Green Kids Consignment events, we provide a positive way for families to impact their community and the environment. The event makes it easy for families to practice conservation and recoup some of their money spent.”
Join Be Green Kids Consignments at the Fishkill Recreation Center April 30 through May 2. For more information and to register as a consignor visit BeGreensale.com.
