WOODSTOCK, GA-- Woodstock is gearing up for a week of events as part of its efforts to celebrate Georgia Cities Week, and one of those events will give you the opportunity to clear out clutter in your home.

Designated for April 22-29, Woodstock will be holding a variety of events, including a city-wide yard sale, Greenstock Day, a town hall meet-and-greet and Touch A Truck.

You also don't want to miss the annual Taste and Sound of Woodstock as well as the return of Woodstock Restaurant Week.

This is the 18th year Georgia Cities Week has been celebrated in the state, and this year's theme is dubbed “Cities in the Mix.”

“We’re very proud of our city and the services we provide that make it attractive to residents and visitors,” said Mayor Donnie Henriques. “Cities provide the services and infrastructure to help businesses grow and set the stage for events where families and individuals can gather as a community.”

For Greenstock Day, the city will host a recycling event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 22 at Woodstock Elementary School.

Residents will be able to drop off various electronics, batteries, compact fluorescent bulbs, clothing, shoes, textiles and shred sensitive documents.
