The Jamestown Department of Development will hold two Amnesty Day events, providing city residents and property owners with an opportunity to dispose of unwanted bulk trash and recycle electronics at no cost.
The days are part of the city’s ongoing efforts to promote responsible waste disposal, maintain clean neighborhoods, and provide residents with convenient opportunities to properly dispose of unwanted household items. The first amnesty day will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 14, at Jackson-Taylor Park with the second held from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 21, at Bergman Park.
Both events are free for eligible City of Jamestown residents and property owners and will take place rain, snow, or shine. Participants must provide documentation verifying City of Jamestown residency or property ownership. Acceptable forms of documentation include a valid New York State driver’s license or identification card displaying a City of Jamestown address, a Jamestown BPU yard waste sticker or a current Jamestown BPU bill.
For safety and proper disposal, the following materials will not be accepted at either event: batteries, yard waste, paint, including old or leftover paint; liquids or chemicals of any kind; hazardous materials, propane tanks and any automotive fluids, including motor oil and antifreeze.
Participants are encouraged to review the list of prohibited materials before attending, have their required documentation readily available upon arrival, and follow all posted signs and instructions from event personnel to help ensure a safe and efficient collection process.
