Get further ahead in your Spring cleaning by getting rid of household items that are no longer needed. Then get outside enjoy the May weather and see what others are giving away!
Removing clutter can also help avoid problems with wildlife, so take advantage of this great community event to clear up those yards, garages and crawl spaces.
