 INGLEWOOD CITY YARD SALE TO TAKE PLACE May 3RD, 2008
Annual Event Helps Residents Clean House, Earn Money, and Help the Environment Inglewood, CA; April 19th, 2008 –On Saturday, May 3rd, the City of Inglewood will host its annual citywide yard sale. This year, the yard sale will take place at Kareem Court from 7am-3pm (near Manchester Blvd. and Avenue of Champions). Admission is free, and free parking will be available at Hollywood Park. Booths are available to Inglewood residents for a $25.00 registration fee. “The Yard sale provides residents a great opportunity to clean out closets and earn some cash, or to browse in search of new treasures,” explains Angela Williams, the City’s acting Environmental Services Manager. The yard sale is made possible by a Target City Awards from Waste Management and Keep America Beautiful. Inglewood is one of 15 national community recipients of this award, which is designed to improve communities and promote sustainability. Susan Moulton, Director of Public Sector Services adds, ‘People may not realize that this Yard Sale is an excellent way for Inglewood residents to reduce, re-use and recycle. Last year, the Yard Sale helped keep approximately 10,000 items out of the landfill by resale or donation after the event.” This year, the event will also be litter free with the help of Inglewood Police Activities League youth volunteers, who will be picking up trash and helping attendees recycle. Residents can also learn to compost at the event. A free composting class will be offered, and composting bins will be raffled. Any items unsold at the end of the yard sale can be donated to local charities, which will be onsite to collect the items. For more information, or to sign up for a booth, please contact Georgia Smith at 310-412-5333. Proof of residency for booth registration is required.
