Trash Bash 2026
MNC & MCA Residents Only
One Carload per Household
❌ No Trailers or U-Hauls Allowed ❌
Event Details
Now is the time to clear out your unwanted junk and clutter! We will have multiple disposal stations to handle all of your spring-cleaning needs. Please read all details thoroughly. This event is intended to be used for the benefit of The Meadows Residents. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who is “abusing the system”, which would result in our resources not being available for everyone. This determination is at the discretion of the Meadows Neighborhood Company. Please refrain from dumping overnight so we can continue this event for years to come. Your cooperation is sincerely appreciated!
Date: Saturday, May 9th
Time: 9:00am – 2:00pm (Early drop-offs are not permitted under any circumstances)
Location: The Grange Parking Lot
MNC & MCA Residents Only: Must bring MNC Pool Fob, Drivers License, or bill with Meadows address to prove residency.
Important Notes: The event is on a first come, first served basis. We will have traffic control at The Grange intersection and CRPD will safely allow cars in starting at 9:00am. The only entrance line to the event is the left turn lane as indicated on the map below. Due to event demand and the growing community, we have a strict one carload per household limit. If we reach capacity at a station, then we may not be able to accept your items, so please arrive early!
