Frederick News Post: City Notes: Frederick’s freecycle roundup brings bulk trash pickup back

If you’re looking for a way to get rid of that old mattress or couch, the city of Frederick may have a solution for you.

The city has a new plan to help people who have no way of getting large, unwanted items to its next Freecycle Roundup bulk item drop-off event.

Employees of Frederick Community Action Agency’s Green Jobs program have agreed to help out.

The employees will drive around during the next Freecycle Roundup event in April to pick up items from people who preregister for the service, said Nikki Bamonti, executive assistant to Mayor Randy McClement.

“If it works out, it solves every problem we have had with this event,” McClement said.

The next Freecycle Roundup event will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 11 at Walnut Ridge Park, 1151 Rocky Springs Road. City residents are asked to bring their unwanted bulk items to the park, and nonprofits will be waiting to sort through donated items to see if they can be repurposed.
