For more information regarding this temporary closure, contact: Valerie Petryniak | Deputy Clerk, Administration & Special Projects valeriep@haltonhills.ca Pat Bonozew sits in her office among piles of books, Xbox games and dolls. "I couldn't sell this be- cause it was cracked," she says, pointing to a teapot. "But it was cute and I knew it could still be useful." So she filled it with some soil and turned it in- to a planter that now sits in her window, along with several other teapots and coffee cups that now serve the same purpose. Bonozew has always liked the idea finding a use for items once they are no longer suitable for their original purpose. Now, along with her son Tim, who has been recy- cling scrap metal for 35 years, she has opened Grammies Recycling Store. The store, which opened in July, aims to di- vert items from the landfill while providing inexpen- sive items for people on a budget. Most of the items are donations of things people no longer want. Others come from estate sales, storage units and people downsizing (Grammies does offer a pickup ser- vice). With the popularity of shows like American Pick- ers and Storage Wars, Tim says finding hidden trea- sures on the store's shelves is part of the attraction for people. "A lot of people like the thrill of finding stuff," he says. "And we get some re- ally interesting stuff. You never know what you're going to find." Among some of the more unique items cur- rently in the store are an antique projector that us- es glass slides, a Ham- mond organ, an antique shortwave radio that still works and a German-made Mundlos sewing machine that dates back more than 100 years. Recently, somebody of- fered to buy the tubes from the organ, but Pat prefers to see it go intact. "People say nobody will buy that," she says, "but it's such a unique thing. I'd love to see it go to a good home." Pat says that in addition to meeting people, re- searching some of the items that come into the store is one of the most en- joyable parts of the busi- ness. Books, clothes, albums, furniture, household items, toys and knick- knacks are popular items. And if you can't find what you're looking for, the store offers a commu- nity board where people can post items they are looking for. "There was someone who wanted barn boards for crafts," Pat says. "A couple of days later, a man came in, saw it and said, 'My barn just fell down.'"
