A great service Laurel provides its residents are opportunities during the year to do a great house emptying :) – Mark your calendars for next Saturday, October 19 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. to empty your house (or local business) of:

  • Electronics: such as televisions, stereos, computers, game systems and their accessories.
  • Sensitive papers: such as bank statements, medical bills, and other items you’d like securely shredded onsite. (X-rays and film also available, though will happen after-the-fact offsite.)
  • Paint: latex, oil-based, and wood stains. (I know I’ve got some of these too.) This one does have a cost at $5/ quart or gallon.
  • Lightly-used home goods: such as clothing, small appliances, and related. (GreenDrop Charity will be onsite to collect)
  • Styrofoam: such as packaging, food containers, and packing peanuts.

This service is only available to Laurel City residents or businesses in the City, so be sure to have your driver’s license (with address) on hand or mail addressed to the City of Laurel business location.

More details (including a map to confirm you’re in the City) are available Department of Public Works Event Page – so gather some things together this coming week, and be free of them come next Saturday! 🧹😀
