The 2010 WasteNOT! Expo was held at the Evangelical Reformed Church, United Church of Christ at 15 W. Church Street, in downtown Frederick on Saturday, May 1 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Individuals, families, business owners, community leaders (and everyone else!) attended a fun and informative afternoon full of exhibits and short presentations on how to do business or live your life in a more sustainable way.
