TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) \u2014 Tallahassee residents looking to clear out unwanted furniture, appliances, and other household items can turn their trash into a credit on their utility bill this month.<\/p>\n
The City of Tallahassee said its biannual \u201cCash for Trash\u201d event returns Saturday, Oct. 17, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the city\u2019s Community Beautification and Waste Management facility, 2727 Major James Morgan Jr. Way (formerly Municipal Way), near Messer Field.<\/p>\n
The event allows residential customers to properly dispose of bulk trash and household hazardous waste.<\/p>\n
City residential customers with active garbage service who participate will receive a $5 credit on their utility bill. Customers may make multiple trips during the event, but only one $5 credit will be issued per utility account.<\/p>\n
Customers must sign in at the event to receive the credit.<\/p>\n
