This weekend three residents of McKinleyville/Dows Prairie will receive massive, complimentary dumpsters for their homes thanks to Mckinleyville Community Watch

This weekend  three lucky residents of McKinleyville/Dows Prairie getting massive, complimentary dumpsters for their homes. 

Aaron Ostrom, founder of McKinleyville Community Watch, said "I came upon three dumpsters." Someone donated three large dumpsters and asked Ostrom to put it to good use in the community.

Among the many community oriented things, MCW members do is cleaning up trash in McKinleyville. "We put the word out there for those in need and vetted the requests."

The three candidates can really use them," Ostrom told me.  "They all have great stories and they are all very thankful for this opportunity." 

One is a woman "with back problems" who struggles to keep her property clean; another resident is also an elderly man with similar issues in maintaining his property; the third recipient are children looking after a property of their mother, who lives out of town, and they cannot afford to clean up costs to get the property presentable again.

The dumpsters were delivered today and will be picked up Monday, said Ostrom.
