Residents are encouraged to bring their unwanted items to designated locations on specific dates. From May 7-9, the Sweeper Dump at the intersection of Lake Avenue, North Boulevard, and K Street, as well as Russ Freeman Park off Fremont Avenue (glass recycling bin), will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On May 14-16, the Aquatic Center parking lot at the corner of 7th Street and Lee Avenue, as well as Mel Erickson Sunnyside Park on the north side of Sunnyside will be available for drop-offs during the same hours.
