The City of Tacoma and the Larchmont, Fern Hill, Pac West, Blueberry Park South and East and Spooner’s Tract neighborhoods have partnered to schedule a spring cleanup for May 19 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Homeowners and renters in single-family and duplex residences in these areas are encouraged to unload unwanted items for free. During these cleanups, volunteers and staff from the City will accept items for disposal at the Church of God in Christ, 9201 Pacific Ave. All that is required to dump in eligible neighborhoods is a proof of residence such as a driver’s license or current utility bill. Items that can’t be dumped include: material from a business; cars, motorcycles, campers or boat parts; truck canopies, trailers, boats or recreational vehicles; daily household garbage; hazardous waste; riding mowers; and animal carcasses.
