Dumpster Day

June 27, 2026, 9am-3pm

Glenhaven Parking Lot (corner of NE 82nd and Siskiyou)

This year in partnership with the

Madison South Neighborhood Association!

This year, we’re excited to partner with the Madison South Neighborhood Association to sponsor this community waste-collection and recycling event. We are splitting our volunteer effort and donations between the two neighborhood associations.

This is the Roseway Neighborhood Association's biggest fundraiser of the year! Donations are encouraged but not required. Donations help to fund the association's activities and programs throughout the year. This event welcomes guests from all neighborhoods (one does not need to reside within Roseway or Madison South neighborhoods in order to participate in this event’s services).

This event will include a free and low-cost item “pop-up shop” to reduce waste and recycle reusable items back into the community. Contents of this pop-up will be determined by the items donated on the day of the event. Anyone can attend our pop-up shop. Pop-up shop parking will not be available in Glenhaven parking lot. Please plan to park elsewhere.
