Ben Grenier, Salma Ali and Amy Smith load up a trash bin Friday with used mattresses collected during the Healthy Neighborhoods Bulky Items Trash pickup event on Bartlett Street in Lewiston. “A lot of folks don’t have the means to take things to the dump; it’s too far to walk,” said Smith. “Stuff stays in hallways and porches and becomes a huge fire hazard.” Over 50 volunteers, driving trucks with trailers, collected at least 300 yards of combustibles for disposal from Tree Street residences by Friday afternoon.
