Already over the sugar rush? Here are some places collecting unwanted (and unopened) Halloween candy. Quick forewarning, this list is a little light compared to last year. If you know of anyone else collecting, let me know and I will add them to the list.
Halloween Candy Drop Off Locations in West Chester:
West Chester Area Elementary Schools
Find your nearest West Chester elementary school. Word is they are all collecting.
West Chester YMCA
605 Airport Rd.
West Chester PA
The YMCA was a collection site last year, and when I talked to them they presumed they would be again. That said they had no collection box set up when I talked to them, so double check before you haul all your candy over.

Time to Leap dance center in the Gay Street Plaza Shopping Center will be collecting Halloween candy between November 4th through the 9th. All candy donations will be sent to the troops.
