ESCANABA — Escanaba residents are invited and encouraged to participate in the annual Trash-to-Cash City-Wide Rummage Sale scheduled for Friday, June 8, and Saturday, June 9, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The event provides a venue for the recycling of reusable household items such as furniture, lamps, electronics, and other working household goods, and enable residents to profit from the sale of these items.

It is designed to increase awareness in recycling by creating an alternative means of re-using items that could otherwise end up in the landfill.

Any resident wishing to participate in the program should call Escanaba City Hall at 906-786-9402 no later than Friday, May 25, by noon to request their address be added to the list. The final list of all city-wide sale participants will be posted on the city’s website and Facebook page, along with paper copies at grocery stores, gas stations, etc.

College students are also encouraged to participate as they may find items that will be useful to them in their dormitory or apartment.
