Trash & Treasures Weekend
Saturday, April 5, 2014
The Town’s spring
Trash and Treasures is scheduled for the weekend of
Saturday, April 5 and Sunday, April 6. The Town offers this bulk trash pickup so that residents can dispose of items that are no longer usable, such as appliances (doors must be removed for safety), furniture, rolled rugs, mattresses, games and bikes, but, if the items are usable, we encourage you to review the list of
Alternatives to Trash and Treasures (Saturday, April 5). We have tried to give you a variety of options. If you are not sure how to dispose of an item, please call the Town Office at 301-654-7144.
