CITY CO-SPONSORS CLEAN UP/DUMPSTER DAY

Sarasota - Clean Up/Dumpster Day will be held Sat., November 18 8am – noon in Gillespie Park. A 30-yard dumpster will be stationed at the southwest corner of 4th Street and Osprey Avenue, where residents can properly dispose of unwanted items.

Residents are encouraged to clean their yards, sidewalks, and right-of-ways and bring unwanted items to the dumpster. “We would hope that people want to be part of the city, and take pride in their neighborhood. Let’s clean up our sidewalks. It inspires others to do the same. It’s contagious,” said Ron Spangler, a member of the Neighborhood Response Team, which is sponsoring the event along with the Greater Downtown Sarasota Action Team.

Spring Clean - Dumpster Day

Large items such as tires, televisions, computers, furniture, printers and monitors will be taken on site. Stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners and household trash which typically would be placed in a green waste receptacle for weekly pick up will not be taken. Residents who are cleaning their homes, are encouraged to properly dispose of unwanted items by bringing them to the dumpster.

The dumpster is being provided by Waste Services of Florida. Garbage bags, provided by the City of Sarasota public works department, will be available on site. The City’s Neighborhood Partnership Office is helping to coordinate the event.

For more information, please call Ron Spangler at 941-928-3143.
