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: Bring your bulky waste items that are too big for your regular trash bin. No hazardous materials, construction materials or soil. See YES/NO GUIDE for full list of accepted/not accepted materials.

RECYCLE: Certain items to be recycled. SEE LIST OF ACCEPTED ITEMS. (Still working on the details for recycling, details coming soon!)

SWAP: Bring items you’d be proud to share! There will be a swap area for donating reusable items.

Donations encouraged, but not required.

Not everything is accepted! Please review lists before lugging big items to the event!

This event is sponsored by Metro.


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).
