Dumpster Day, Flower Sale At Carney Elementary

If spring cleaning and yard work have left you with a bunch of junk you're looking to get rid of, but can't put out for your regular trash collection day, the Carney Improvement Association has a solution for you.

The group is hosting a Dumpster Day at Carney Elementary School this Saturday (April 27) from 8 a.m.-12 p.m., according to an email from group president Meg O'Hare.

Carney residents are invited to drop off brush, branches, washers, dryers, dishwashers, bikes, metal, plastic and wood, the email states. However, you won't be able to drop off any electronics, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, or hazardous waste.

During the Dumpster Day event, the elementary school's PTA Dad's Club will also be selling flowers in the parking lot, the email states. Proceeds from the flower sale will be used by the club to beautify the exterior of the school.

The group will be selling flats of 32 plants, including begonias, impatiens, petunias, verbena and vinca, for $16 or $2 per pack (4 plants); as well as annual flowers like gerber daisy, New Guinea impatiens, geranium, and super petunias ($25 for a tray of 8 plants or $3.50 per plant).

Hanging flower baskets and pots will also be offered, the email states.

Only cash will be accepted at the flower sale, according to the email.
