Freecycle/Dumpster Day is THIS SATURDAY (5/10)

It’s that time again… get ready for Spring Cleaning with our annual Freecycle/Dumpster Day on Saturday, May 10th! The City of Sunnyvale flyer may be viewed or downloaded HERE.

Locations

1. Cranberry Ave at corner with Syracuse Dr

Dumpsters will open at 8:00am and doors close at 2:00pm. After 2:00pm the dumpsters will be hauled away. If the dumpsters fill up early, or before 12:00pm, the city will pick it up, empty the contents for sorting, and return empty in the same spot.

FREECYCLING

We’ll also have freecycling at the dumpster located on Cranberry at Syracuse. Freecycle items not taken by 2:00pm will be tossed in the dumpster. Large items that won’t fit in the dumpster at the end of the event must be reclaimed by the owner (names will be recorded when items are dropped off).
