Thanks to a program through the City of Fort Wayne, neighborhood residents will again have the opportunity to dispose of unwanted solid waste materials at no cost to homeowners or the neighborhood association.
WHEN
Saturday, June 13, 2020
8:00 am – 12:00 pm
WHERE
The dumpster will be placed on Kimmel Drive (the short street that connects the east sides of W. Foster and Sheridan).
HOW IT WORKS
Simply gather any unwanted trash (see list below for unacceptable materials) and drop it in the dumpster during the hours noted above.
Please do not overfill the dumpster. It will not be picked up if improperly filled. Container space will be available on a first come, first served basis so plan accordingly if you wish to participate. Last year we easily filled the dumpster within the allotted time.
The following materials CAN NOT be placed in the container:
Anti-freeze
Fire Extinguishers
Concrete
Auto Parts
Oil Based Paint
Pesticides
Radioactive Materials
Tires
Asphalt
Freon Refrigerant
Liquids
Closed Containers
Lead Acid Batteries
Fertilizers
Chemicals
Used Oil
Auto Fluids
Hazardous Waste
Explosives
Compressed Gas
Special Waste
Appliances with Freon
Fluorescent Bulbs
Leaves
Electronics
Items Containing Mercury
Herbicides
Note: Latex paint cans need to be dried out before placing in the dumpster. They cannot accept paint in liquid form because they may leak out onto the ground or street.
For more information about disposing of items and materials not permitted in the dumpster, please visit the Allen County Department of Environmental Management website: www.acwastewatcher.org.
