The Pimmit Hills Citizens Association is sponsoring a community Clean-Up Day on Saturday, April 10 at the Pimmit Hills High School on Lisle Avenue in Pimmit Hills. Fairfax County refuse trucks will be there to haul away big pieces of junk starting at 8:00 am and ending sharply at Noon that day.
In order to drop stuff off, you must be a member of the Pimmit Hills Citizens Association. If you haven’t sent in your dues yet, PHCA will have a table collecting yearly membership dues. Dues are $20 per household per year.
We need volunteers to help out with the Clean-Up Day. To help unload cars for the Clean-Up, be sure to wear old clothes and bring work gloves. We also have volunteers that will pick up large items if you can’t get them to the truck yourself. Call Linda Wheeler 703-475-5347 or email lindawheeler@weichert.com to schedule pick up!
If you’ve never taken advantage of Clean-Up Day, it’s an amazing thing to watch the Fairfax County garbage trucks “eat” an entire couch. They also use a truck with a big crane which picks up all the large metal pieces. The day is also a great time to help out, meet fellow PH’ers and even spot a treasure that someone else is throwing away.

Big appliances like ovens, washers; furniture like couches, chairs, mattresses; lamps, stereos, computers, bicycles, tables, doors, bed frames, cabinets, shelving, carpets, etc.
