This initiative aims to provide residents with a convenient way to dispose of unwanted items and maintain the beauty and safety of the city.

Starting on May 7, code enforcement officers and sanitation staff will be hosting a series of neighborhood cleanup events throughout the month. These events will take place on Thursdays through Saturdays for three consecutive weeks, with dumpsters available for proper disposal of household goods, construction debris, and yard waste.

Residents are encouraged to bring their unwanted items to designated locations on specific dates. From May 7-9, the Sweeper Dump at the intersection of Lake Avenue, North Boulevard, and K Street, as well as Russ Freeman Park off Fremont Avenue (glass recycling bin), will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On May 14-16, the Aquatic Center parking lot at the corner of 7th Street and Lee Avenue, as well as Mel Erickson Sunnyside Park on the north side of Sunnyside will be available for drop-offs during the same hours. And finally, from May 21-23, residents can bring their unwanted items to Garfield Substation at Northeast Bonneville Drive and Garfield Street or Old Butte Soccer Complex maintenance shed at 425 N Old Butte Road.
