2025 Annual Dumpster Day

Date: Saturday, September 13th

Time: 8am-10am

Where: Douglas County Open Space located in our neighborhood, on the south side of the intersection of N Woodland Trail and Piney Creek Rd.

This year we will be providing 4 dumpsters and slash removal. In an effort to control PHCA’s costs for this event, the event is first come, first served.  If the dumpsters or slash truck fill up before 10am, no additional items will be accepted.  The first truck/trailer load is free for current PHCA members and $50 per additional truck/trailer loads.  For non-members, we welcome new PHCA member sign-ups on the day of the event for $100.  Once signed up, new members can unload into the dumpsters and slash piles.  PHCA will have volunteers onsite checking members in, directing traffic, and assisting where possible. While we will have volunteers on site, please be fully prepared to unload from your vehicle/trailer into the dumpster on your own.
