Ferndale Downtown is proud to bring you our
18th Annual Community Clean Up Day!
Saturday, May 2nd
⏰ 8 AM – Noon
Corner of Alder and Fourth Ave (Closing part of the street next to CVS to accommodate drive-through event!)
We’re calling for volunteers and inviting the public to take advantage of this helpful community service! Swing by our drive-through clean-up event to responsibly dispose of unwanted items and recycling while helping keep Ferndale looking its best. Here’s what to expect:
✅ Whatcom County Health & Community Services will be on hand to help answer questions about where to dispose of items we can’t accept.
✅ Bring your unwanted electronics—including TVs, printers, and more! – see full list of accepted items here: www.1pc.com/electronics-recycling
✅ Ferndale Free Pile is back! Drop off items that still have life left, browse for treasures, or do both!
✅ Yard Waste? No problem! Pick up a free yard waste dump voucher and take it to RDS for easy disposal.
What We Can’t Accept: Refrigerators, A.C. units, tires, chemicals, oil, household garbage, or regular curbside recycling.
Want to get involved? We’re looking for volunteers, sponsors, donations, and refreshments for our hardworking crew! We also have a special project opportunity this year. We’re hoping to match a volunteer group with a local downtown business to help tackle some outdoor building maintenance—those small but important projects that help keep downtown looking sharp and welcoming but can be hard to get to when you’re busy running a business.
If your group would be interested in taking on a special project, please reach out and we’ll work on matching you with a business that would truly appreciate the extra hands to knock out a few of those to-do list items.
No registration is required to utilize the free services or to come help with litter pickup, sidewalk sweeping, and general sprucing up. However, if your group would like to take on a special project, we’d love to connect ahead of time so we can coordinate the work with the business owner.
