Trash to Treasure Weekend is this weekend!

Looking for something new for your home or maybe something you didn’t know you needed? You never know what you might find during Trash to Treasure Weekend!

City of Marquette residents can place clean, reusable and serviceable household items at the curb for others to pick up and reuse.

Friday, September 11 – Sunday, September 13

Items may be placed at the curb no earlier than 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Any items that are not claimed must be removed from the curb by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Furniture, lamps, tables, chairs, dishes, electronics, and other working household items are welcome. Please do not put rubbish, broken, dirty, or unusable items at the curb.

College students are encouraged to join the treasure hunt, too. You might find something useful for your dorm or apartment!

And remember to bring in lawn ornaments and other items you want to keep so they aren't mistaken for items available for the taking.

Happy treasure hunting, Marquette!
