Garbage and Recycling Day

Join us for this year’s community garbage and recycling day and drop off your unwanted household items.

Date: September 26th, 2026
Time: 10:00am - 2:00pm
$20 Donation per waste drop

Arbor Lodge Park

North Delaware Ave. between North Saratoga Street and North Dekum Street

  • Drive up: cars are directed down North Saratoga Street to North Delaware Avenue.
  • Make your donation: $20 per drop, paid by cash, PayPal, or Venmo.
  • Everything else: four dumpsters on site for the other medium-size waste that’s been piling up in your house or garage.

On-site partners help keep items out of the landfill:

  • Metal recycling
  • Household goods donated to support our homeless neighbors
  • Electronics recycling
  • Styrofoam recycling

This event is a collaborative effort by the Arbor Lodge, Overlook, Kenton, and Piedmont Neighborhood Associations, made possible by generous donations from our sponsors.

Your donations help raise the money needed to run this event again next year. Any extra money raised is split between the neighborhoods to support other community-centered events in those neighborhoods.
