How much does it cost?
In the past, we asked participants to donate based on the amount of garbage they were bringing by vehicle (for example, $25+ for a small load from a car or a small SUV). This year, In order to lower the financial barriers to participate in Dumpster Day, we will be requesting a donation based on your ability to pay. Please donate an amount you can afford!
Your donations make events like Dumpster Day possible, and all proceeds will go to the neighborhood and future projects and events!
Electronics with a cord will require a fee collected at the electronics station, distinct from the per vehicle donation.
Re-Use-Me Swap and Exchange
We will also be accepting reusable items in good condition. Feel free to peruse the re-use-me items and take home a treasure. If you find something that’s useful to you, please consider making a monetary donation!
