Need to get rid of some old junk, but just don’t know what to do with it? York neighbors get ready for Annual Dumpster Day this Saturday June 5, at 8:30 a.m. Residents are invited to bring all unwanted items to the Nelson’s Market parking lot until the dumpster is full, which is usually by 10 a.m.

The event is being hosted by neighborhood volunteers and is supported by Sanitary Service Company Inc., who provides the neighborhood with a 30-yard dumpster. The dumpster is placed in the Nelson’s Market parking lot, where the contents are disposed of by Recomp of Washington. All efforts are free of charge.

What you can bring:
Residents are encouraged to bring anything from old mattresses to junk found in alley ways, and of course their work gloves.
