🎄 TWO WEEKS LEFT to order your Cory Christmas Trees!!

Two weeks left to snag your 5’ Christmas Tree for $35 – same price as last year. Want it delivered? $5 flat and we’ll drop it on your doorstep!

They will arrive the first weekend of December, just in time to brighten up your porch, living room, or that awkward empty spot you keep pretending isn’t there.

Grab one, light it up, and help make the neighborhood shine. Let’s get festive. ✨

Successfully Dumped!

Way to go, Cory Neighbors. We had cars around the block and completely filled 3 dumpsters before noon! Again, a huge thanks to our Councilmember Michael Mulcahy for arranging this and being here to help facilitate.

If you were not able to drop off all your trash, you can always arrange a free junk pickup via 311.

See you all at the general meeting on Monday!

Dumpster Day – Oct 25!

Dumpster Day is coming up on Saturday, October 25th! Cory neighbors can take advantage of this community cleanup event to get rid of large or unwanted household items like old furniture, carpet, lumber, appliances, toys, and even e-waste. Please note that hazardous materials will not be accepted.

For a full list of what can and can’t go in the dumpsters, visit coryneighborhood.org/dumpster-day.

Dumpsters will be on Kenwood by the school. Please approach from Monroe to keep the traffic flowing.

Dumpsters start at 8:30am and stay until Noon or full, so get there early!

Let’s keep our neighborhood clean and clutter-free together! Thanks to our sponsor, Councilman Michael Mulcahy.
