TRAFFIC: We see up to 800 vehicles during these events, so please expect to line up as there can be delays. Gates close at 3:00pm sharp!
COVID-19: For public health and safety, please follow standard mask/glove COVID-19 protocols and pack items so they can be removed quickly
NOTES:
- This will still be cash-only for any disposal fees required; please provide exact change!
- Free paper shredding will be offered onsite, limit 5 boxes per person.
- Discounted rain barrels, worm bins, and composters will be available again, $25 each, cash only. Supplies typically run out before day's end.
- The City's Food Pantry is still low on funds due to increased demand from COVID-19. In lieu of food, please bring donations in the form of grocery gift cards ($10, $25 or $50), cash, or credit card to be collected by volunteers from the MIYFS Foundation. All are tax deductible and will help Islanders in need. Thank you!
