VERNON — The Clean Communities program will host a Bulky Waste Cleanup Day on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014, at the DPW Complex, located on Riggs Way in Vernon Township from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Bulky items that will be accepted are: tires, furniture, mattresses, and carpets, appliances (stoves, washers/dryers, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and televisions). Residents are allowed four (4) tires per household which must be removed from rims. No truck tires, construction debris or hazardous waste-type items will be accepted.
