What a morning! Neighbors showed up early and kept coming. At its peak, the line stretched nearly halfway around the park. Metal recycling was once again a great resource for residents.

Thank you, volunteers!

A huge thank you to our 12 volunteers. You checked in residents, kept traffic moving, helped neighbors all morning, and still made time to connect with everyone who came through. Dumpster Day simply does not happen without you, and we are so grateful you gave your Saturday morning to the neighborhood. We had a lot of fun doing it together.

Thank you, neighbors!

Thank you to all 163 neighbors who came out, waited patiently in line, and helped keep Alger Heights clean. And thank you to everyone who donated. The $90.60 you gave goes straight back into neighborhood outreach, printing, and newsletters.

We are also grateful to Grand Rapids Public Works and Parks and Recreation for helping make the event possible.
