Annual Treasure Hunt & Large Item Pick Up Returns
Reduce and reuse! The Treasure Hunt and Large Item Pick up are back! From May 5-7th, residents can ‘hunt’ for household items on their neighbors’ curbs and discard of any unwanted items themselves.
The following week, May 8-12th, the Town will collect any leftover items except:
-Mattresses
-Vehicle parts, including motors and tires
-Rail road ties
-Construction materials, including windows and carpet
-Electronic waste, including keyboards and microwaves
-Hazardous waste, including batteries and paint
-Extra household waste, including bags of clothing
Mayor William Choy says, “The Treasure Hunt is a fantastic opportunity for residents to rehome items they no longer need or want.” Choy continues, “Overall, it helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in our landfill, and it fits with our Don’t Just Trash It! household waste education campaign.
Residents are encouraged to place various household items on the curb before noon on May 5th for the Treasure Hunt and before noon on May 8th for the Large Item Pickup.
Items not placed outside by this time on May 8th may not be picked up.
