For those who are in desperate need to clean out space in their homes, the cities of Roswell and Milton are joining forces with Keep Roswell Beautiful to offer Bulky Trash Amnesty Day.

The three entities are inviting residents to clean out their garages, basements and attics before the holidays and dispose of unwanted, large items at no charge.

Both cities and the advocacy organization will host Bulky Trash Amnesty Day on Saturday, Dec. 6.

Residents from Roswell and Milton can bring items to Roswell Public Works Division at 1810 Hembree Road from 8 a.m. to noon.

Proof of residency is required, and providing utility bills is the preferred method. 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, dryers, televisions, deactivated cell phones and electronics.

These items will not be accepted for disposal: paint, household hazardous waste, any fluids including motor oil and anti-freeze, household batteries, construction and demolition materials and 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. Please note that 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.
