MEDIA RELEASE
“Freecycle” Roundup Scheduled for April 11th
Limited Free Pickups Available
Frederick, MD – March 4, 2015 The City of Frederick will host another Freecycle Roundup on Saturday, April 11th from 8am-2pm. The Freecycle Roundup provides Frederick City residents the opportunity to dispose of large bulk items that they no longer need. The City will be staging the Roundup at Walnut Ridge Park located at 1151 Rocky Springs Road.
The City found over many years that a large percentage of items previously set out for bulk trash were actually still serviceable, or could be repurposed. The objectives of the Freecycle Roundup are simple:
FEWER useful items in the landfill!
MORE items recycled!
REDUCED costs for disposal
BENEFIT local non-profits
Freecycle Roundup is for City of Frederick residents only. No sign-up or registration is required to drop off items. ID’s will be checked to verify proof of residency.
The City will offer limited pickup of bulk items through the Frederick Community Action Agency’s Green Jobs program. Pickup will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. City residents interested in scheduling a free pickup should contact Ben at 301-600-2039 by Friday, March 20th.
