Pimmit Hills Community Clean-Up Day & Yard Sale
Saturday, May 10, 2008, starting at 8 am
PHCA House, 1927 Pimmit Drive in Pimmit Hills
The Pimmit Hills Citizens Association is sponsoring a community Clean-Up Day and Yard Sale on Saturday, May 10 at the Pimmit Hills Citizens Association house at 1927 Pimmit Drive in Pimmit Hills.
Fairfax County refuse trucks will be at the PHCA house driveway to haul away big pieces of junk starting at 8:00 am and ending sharply at Noon that day.
The Community Yard Sale will als0 be held at the PHCA house the same day from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Spaces to sell your stuff are $10 each; contact a PHCA Board Member to reserve your space.
In order to drop stuff off, you must be a member of the Pimmit Hills Citizens Association. If you haven’t sent in your dues yet, PHCA will have a table collecting yearly membership dues.
We need volunteers to help out with the Clean-Up Day and/or the Yard Sale. To help unload cars for the Clean-Up, be sure to wear old clothes and bring work gloves. Please contact a Board Member if you are able to help out or if you would like to buy a Yard Sale space ($10 per space).
If you’ve never taken advantage of Clean-Up Day, it’s an amazing thing to watch the Fairfax County garbage trucks “eat” an entire couch. They also use a truck with a big crane which picks up all the large metal pieces. The day is also a great time to help out, meet fellow PH’ers and even spot a treasure that someone else is throwing away.
So mark your calendars now for Saturday, May 10, rain or shine, for a great day to clear out the clutter and junk from around your home—either by throwing it away or by selling it!
