NEIGHBORHOOD DUMPSTER DAY, RECYCLE & SWAP EVENT

JUNE 2, 2024: 12-3PM OR UNTIL THE DUMPSTERS ARE FULL

SEI PARKING LOT / UNTHANK PARK (3920 N KERBY AVE)

Dumpster Day, Recycle & Swap Event is a volunteer-organized service to the neighborhood. Neighbors bring their bulky trash and non-curbside recycling to the drop-off place, for a fee for its disposal (but is not required). The fee is much lower (plus it’s more convenient) than going to depots and the Metro Transfer Station. Funds raised from it pay for the dumpster fees and go toward community events and projects.

There is a Yes/No List of accepted and not accepted waste. (The dump transfer station doesn’t accept all waste which means we cannot accept all waste).
