NORTH YARMOUTH — Looking for a way to get rid of that stuff cluttering up your closets, garage and attics? Things that other people could use?

Goodwill Industries of Northern New England welcomes your help.

The town will hold its second annual Goodwill donation drive and clean-up day from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, June 2. Donations will be accepted at North Yarmouth Town Hall, 10 Village Square Road, and Goodwill will provide donation receipts.

Gently used items accepted include area rugs, lawn-and-garden tools, bed frames, lawn furniture, bicycles, microwave ovens, books, shoes, clothing, small appliances, dishes, pots and pans, sports and workout equipment, hand tools, TVs, household furniture, toys, lamps that work, and computers, printers and related accessories.

Call Kimberly Curry, a Goodwill community relations manager, at 774-6323 with any questions.

Items not destined for Goodwill can be disposed of at North Yarmouth’s public works facility, 40 Parsonage Road.
