Things get spring-y this weekend in Lawrence with Easter egg hunts, a handmade market celebrating the spring equinox, and a little eco-friendly spring cleaning.

Electronic Recycling and Document Shredding Event

9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Lawrence Free State High School parking lot, 4700 Overland Drive

Unsure what to do with that ancient cell phone or outdated desktop computer? Instead of sending old gadgets (which may contain hazardous components such as lead, mercury and cadmium — yikes!) to the landfill, let the City of Lawrence take them off your hands at this weekend’s recycling event.

Accepted items include: computers, monitors, printers, copiers, scanners, fax machines, televisions (for a recycling fee of $20 to $50), video and audio equipment, cell phones and other handheld devices, plus microwaves and other small appliances.

Residents and small businesses can also have documents shredded, free of charge. The limit is three boxes/bags.

Lawrence Community Easter Egg Hunt

10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Hobbs Park, 602 E. 11th St.

“Eggs in the grass, prizes on Mass” is the tagline for this kid-friendly event hosted by The Greenhouse Culture church.

The fun begins at Hobbs Park, where kids (ages 1-12) will spend about 45 minutes collecting eggs, each of which contain a ticket for a prize to be redeemed at a downtown business just after the egg hunt.

Registration is required, and participation will be capped at 500. To register, visit www.eventbrite.com, and make sure to have your ticket printed or displayed on your phone for entry. Call 760-7605 for more information.

Easter Egg Hunt at Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community

2:30 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community, 4851 Harvard Road

Kiddos 12 and under are invited to Pioneer Ridge’s Easter egg hunt, which also includes refreshments (cupcakes and punch) and pictures with the Easter Bunny.

The fun will be divided into three age groups: 3 and under, 4-8 and 9-12. For more information, call 749-2000.

Equinox Handmade Market

3 to 8 p.m. Saturday, OmTree Shala, 1405 Massachusetts St.

This weekend, celebrate the arrival of spring with a little retail therapy. (You’ve made it through winter, so you’ve earned it.)

Among the local food, art, jewelry and clothing vendors scheduled to appear at OmTree Shala’s market: Repetition Coffee, Bootleg Biscotti, Ann Dean Photography, Nomads, Spell of the Meadow, Solace Naeymi, Oxbow Studio and many more.

Customers who spend more than $80 will be entered into a raffle to win more swag from vendors and one month of unlimited yoga at OmTree Shala.
