Spring is here and The Meadows Neighborhood Company has created an event to make your spring cleaning much easier! The event is free but it is only open to Meadows Residents. Participants will need to bring their pool fob or driver’s license with a Meadows address to verify their residency. It will be held in The Grange parking lot and we will have multiple stations available to handle all of your spring cleaning needs. Please note the event is on a first come, first served basis. Due to demand of this event and the growing community, we have a one-carload per-household limit. If we reach capacity at a drop off station we may

not be able to accept your items.

Below is a list of our drop off stations with what we can and cannot accept.

Paper Shredding – A mobile paper shredding truck will be on site where you can watch your documents get shredded. There is a limit of 3 banker’s sized cardboard boxes per person.

Electronic Recycling – A truck will be available that can recycle old electronics such as computers, laptops, printers, and cell phones. This station cannot accept T.V.’s or large appliances.

Trash – There will be several large trash bins available to accommodate your general trash. We can accept items such as old furniture and mattresses along with general trash. Information on what can’t be thrown away in these bins is listed below. You must unload your own items and put into the dumpsters so they are completely inside the dumpster. Do not leave any items on the ground or hanging over the edge of the container.

Project Recycle Bike Drive – We will be working in collaboration with Project Recycle who is a local nonprofit organization that provides bikes to underprivileged families. If you have a used bicycle you no longer want please consider donating it.

Recycling – A large recycling container will be on site where you can recycle most of your household items. All cardboard must be broken down and flattened before it is put in this container. Information on what can’t be thrown away in this bin is listed below.
