Weekend Cleanup Events are here to help San Francisco residents discard and donate items no longer needed!
For unusable items that need to be discarded, Recology employees will be available to help you dispose of them correctly. St. Vincent de Paul will also be on-site and gladly accepts gently used clothes, accessories, shoes, books, small household appliances, and electronics. We’ll even have free compost made from green cart materials available, so bring a 5-gallon bucket to take some home with you.
Please note: this event is for San Francisco residents only. Please bring proof of residency or the event ticket you received in the mail to enter.
