Too Much Halloween Candy? Here's What To Do
DETROIT (WWJ) - Some may say it's impossible to have too much candy. For the rest of us, here are some options for where to unload it.
A few local dental offices will be glad to take your unwanted Halloween goodies for a good cause.
Bright Side Dental is offering a chance to win prizes for those who donate their candy in their Third Annual Halloween Candy Buyback Program.
Last year, the Bright Side Dental offices in Royal Oak, Sterling Heights, Canton and Livonia collected over 700 pounds of candy that was sent overseas to service members. This year, a new location in St. Clair Shores will be joining the program.
"We were so proud of the kid's from our various communities last year. We hope that the kids will be just as inspired to donate their candy this year," said spokesperson Pam Lenning.
For every pound of unopened candy, kids will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win a gift. Kids can bring in no more than 10 pounds of candy. (For locations and directions, visit this link).
