EL Harvey has asked that residents no longer use cardboard boxes. There is no limit to how many containers or bags of yard waste you can put out. Sticks less than 2 inches thick and up to 3 feet long may be place out in bundles. Yard waste may not include rocks, gravel, sod or dirt. All bundles and containers must weigh less than 50 pounds each.”
So with all that in mind, here’s the suggested plan:
1. Go to GardnerYardSale.com so you can sell some of your stuff. Links to resources, permitting, getting on the map for Saturday etc. are provided.
2. Get the young adults in your house to volunteer for the Keep Gardner Nip Hunt & Clean Up. Or volunteer yourself if you’re not having a Yard Sale. Register.
3. Tidy up your own place Saturday or Sunday.
