Big Bin events will run on the following weekends across the city:

The City provided a list of acceptable materials for the Big Bin events. They include:

The event will not accept household hazardous waste such as batteries, paint, varnish or household cleaners.

All events will occur between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
