Residents of the City of Escanaba are invited and encouraged to participate in the Annual “Trash-to-Treasure Day” scheduled for: Sunday, June 9th 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.
The purpose of this program is to provide a venue for the recycling of reusable household items such as furniture, lamps, electronics, and other working household goods. This program is designed to increase awareness in recycling by creating an alternative means of re-using items that could otherwise end up in the landfill.
Any resident wishing to participate in the program is asked to place reusable/serviceable items in front of their house on the curb no earlier than 8:00 a.m. on June 9, 2019, so that people are encouraged to take what they want. Remaining items that have not been taken (recycled/claimed) must be removed from the curb side no later than 12:00 noon on June 9, 2019.
College students are also encouraged to participate as they may find items that will be useful to them in their dormitory or apartment. Examples of items that can be recycled include lamps, tables, chairs, dishes, etc. Please no rubbish. Rubbish is defined as anything that does not work, is not clean, and is not serviceable. Rain date of June 23, 2019 has been established.
