Milton and Roswell residents have just a few more days to prepare for Bulky Trash Amnesty Day.

The Public Works departments of both cities, along with Keep Roswell Beautiful, will host the event on Saturday, May 9.

Residents can clean out their garages, basements, and attics and dispose of unwanted, large items at no charge during the event, which will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Roswell Public Works Division at 1810 Hembree Road.

Proof of residency is required. (Utility bills preferred; Roswell residents with the window decal do not need any other form of identification)

This event has become very popular, so residents should expect delays. Some of the items that will be accepted are:

• Tires (must be off the rim, automobile tires only; limit 4 per car)
• sofas
• tables
• refrigerators
• chairs
• washers and dryers
• air conditioners and water heaters
• televisions and other electronics
• swing sets, basketball hoops, other children’s toys
• mattresses and box springs

The following items will not be accepted:

• paint
• household hazardous waste
• any fluids including motor oil and anti-freeze
• household batteries
• construction and demolition materials
• yard waste

Materials will only be accepted at the site on the day of the event and only during the hours of 8 a.m. to noon. The line will be cut off at noon.

Residents are encouraged to donate any items that are still in good condition and could be used to a charity such as North Fulton Community Charities, Goodwill or any of the other charities in the area. Please call to check with them before dropping off items.
