NORTHWEST, Ohio — Did you know that kids can trade in their Halloween candy for cash? Frankel Dentistry is gearing up for their annual "Cash for Candy" post-Halloween event.
Every year, kids are left with an overload of sugar-packed treats after Halloween that if not eaten, will most likely end up in the trash.
Not anymore because trick-or-treaters can bring their leftover, wrapped candy to both of Frankel Dentistry’s locations, Talmadge Road in Toledo and Keystone Drive in Maumee following their Halloween festivities.
In return, you will receive $1 per pound of candy that you bring.
All treats will be donated to a local group to be sent to Toledo troops over seas. Last year, Frankel Dentistry was able to donate over a ton of candy to troops! They're trying to increase that amount this year.
"Why not send some candy to the troops?" said Danielle Keller, a scheduler at Frankel Dentistry. "What better way to do it than have kids and announce it to schools and have competitions and get a dollar per pound."
Make sure to stop by either location from November 1 through November 5 for candy collection.
The drop off hours are as follows:
Maumee location
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Thursday 8 a.m.-7 p.m.; Friday 8-2:30 p.m.
Toledo location
Monday, Tuesday 7:30 a.m.-8 p.m.; Wednesday, Thursday 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m.; Friday 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
