Unofficial Instruction manual for Narberth’s Junk Week:
  1. Pull all the stuff out of your basement;
  2. Have a garage sale - get your neighbors to join in and make it a street-long sale;
  3. Recycle items in good condition with your favorite charity; 
  4. Put everything that’s left (see restrictions above) out on the curb for your neighbors to browse through. Cover the “good stuff” with a tarp if it looks like rain; 
  5. Tour the neighborhood under the guise of "taking a walk" to see what good stuff your neighbors have.  (A dog is useful but not necessary for this.)
  6. Leave whatever remains out there for the Borough to pick up.
  7. *** And Remember *** Do NOT leave bikes, scooters, or other items you want to keep anywhere near the curb this week. You don't want any misunderstandings about what is up for grabs and what you intend to keep!

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle!

Electronics
​In addition to periodic local "everything with a plug" events, both LM and Narberth residents can arrange for at-home pickup with the Retrievr app. Retrievr does household pickups of clothes and small electronics. Retriever will take just about any clean and dry textile or fabric in your home, and most electronic devices or accessories. Please note that they do not take household appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators, toasters, vacuums, hair dryers and the like.

Plastic Bags
Some grocery stores have plastic bag recycling bins, including Giant in Wynnewood.  This website has a list of plastic bag recycling locations. Plastic bags do not get recycled curbside, and other recyclables should NOT be bagged. 

Document Shredding

Christmas Tree Pickup
​
All ornaments, stands and other decorations must be removed. Narberth residents can put their Christmas trees on the curb on Tuesdays nights in January.  They will be collected with the regular Wednesday brush pickups in January. Lower Merion’s Shade Tree Division collects and mulches Christmas trees during the first two weeks in January on the regular refuse collection day.  LM residents can also drop trees off themselves at the Public Works Complex located at 1300 N Woodbine Avenue in Penn Valley.
