The management of the event asked the residents to bring the items in their original containers. The residents are also requested to bring the items in a securely sealed or capped form. The content should be labeled on the container.

It is an opportunity for the residents to get rid of the waste that they find tough to dispose of in normal trash. Get registered now as the registration will be closed on Oct. 11, 2019, at 2:00 pm.
