Dumpster dumpster dumpster time!
Saturday morning, approximately 8-12, in front of the school playground, Pine Heights Ave. All residents of Violetville and Saint Agnes neighborhoods are welcome to bring household trash, including furniture, small metal objects, dry cans, glass, plastic, clothes, expired food, worn out toys.
Here are things that don't go in the dumpster, (have patience, it's detailed)
_
"White goods", large appliances such as refrigerator, washer, dryer, even if it is not white. :)
Tires
liquids
hazardous materials such as paints, solvents, pesticides, Pool chemicals, acids, caustics, gasoline, mercury thermometers, syringes, fire extinguisher, propane tanks, helium tanks, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs,
apartment/house clean-outs
commercial project trash, wood, flooring, cement, bricks, sheetrock, concrete, roofing, dirt
large pieces of yard waste like tree branches
no motors or even bicycles
Those are the department of Solid Waste rules.
Here is good news. Our metal recycler will accept metal that the dumpster does not. So those "white Goods", can be recycled, along with bed springs, bikes, grills, etc.
We will make a space for things that still are useful so others can feel free to take them for a second life.
We will also collect outdated food cans and boxes that chickens could eat.
Come enjoy the clean up, the sharing, the recycling!
Please include some trash from around your street or alley to make it a great "Pitch In" event.
