“Dumpster Days” are community waste collection events for items that don’t fit, or aren’t allowed, in curbside waste bins.
We are looking for some ‘hosts’ for lawn signs. They look like this – we have everything you need and can drop it at your house.
Please contact info@eliotneighborhood.org if you are able to host one through our event May 16th. Thank you!
