Spring Clean 2001 will be held Saturdays, March 24, April 7, April 21 and April 28 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at various locations in the city. A new feature of Spring Clean 2001 is the Swap Shop.
Citizens can bring items that are still usable, fixable, or workable to be swapped or donated.
The goal is to keep as much material out of the landfill as possible and help the City meets its overall waste reduction goals. Eligible 'swap' items include appliances, tools, toys, house wares and office items. The City's Spring Clean event promotes a cleaner community by encouraging citizens to properly dispose of household junk and debris. Spring Clean 2000 was a success with 4,847 vehicles dropping off miscellaneous junk to be properly disposed. Participation in Spring Clean is free to Durham residents who bring acceptable items in cars, pickup trucks and trailers less than 8 feet.
