To get in, though, people need to hang on to a voucher being mailed out with their monthly utility bills and bring it with them to discard old items.
Acceptable items include refrigerators and freezers, printers, copiers, microwave ovens, keyboards, recyclable metals, old furniture and tires.
TVs, monitors and computers can be disposed of free at the North County Transfer Station, 19600 63rd Ave. NE, Arlington.
