SPRING CLEAN UP: White/Brown Goods collection takes place one day a year and materials are picked up curbside. Acceptable items may vary year to year but usually include large and small appliances, furniture, mattresses and box springs, rimless tires, and some scrap metal. A notice from the Town Office is sent to residents each year describing procedures and items acceptable for collection.

Phil Bloomstein is Freedom's representative on the Unity Area Regional Solid Waste Committee. He will be keeping up the Facebook Page (Green Freedom) started by Tammy McTaggart to keep town residents informed of Freedom's progress and policies regarding its waste management and recyclying efforts.
