TOMS RIVER, NJ — If you love Halloween but dread the idea of all that candy coming into the house and tempting you and your kids, a Toms River dentist is offering to take it off your hands.
Rotem Dental Care, owned by Dr. Ron Rotem, is holding its 14th annual Halloween Candy Buyback at the dental office at 355 Lakehurst Road in Toms River.
On Thursday, Nov. 1 and Friday, Nov. 2, stop in with the candy between noon and 5 p.m. They will pay $1 per pound for your kids' candy, up to 10 pounds per family. The child who brings in the most candy by weight will win $50.
