CCA Free Community Dumpster Days 2026
The CCA hosts a Dumpster Day 4x a year. (Dates TBD) The dumpster will be located near 1011 S. Lakewood Ave, alongside Safeway just north of Boston Street from approximately 9:00 am until noon or until full. Plan to go early, as it usually fills fast.

CCA Committees / Volunteer Opportunities
The CCA has a variety of volunteer opportunities that enable neighbors to share their time and talent with the community. As we begin the new year, we’d love to see some fresh faces join our committees – especially our Public Safety, Membership, and Transportation committees.  CCA committees include Arts, Economic Development, Education, Marketing, Membership, Public Safety, Transportation, Social, Sustainability, and Volunteer. The CCA also oversees the Friends of Canton Dog Park & Friends O’Donnell Square, and partners with Canton Canopy, the Canton Anti-Racism Alliance, and the I Wonder Garden. (Details) To learn more, visit www.cantoncommunity.org/volunteer/ or please contact Amanda at volunteer@cantoncommunity.org.

If you have skills in these areas—or just enthusiasm and a willingness to help—we’d love to have you on board! You don’t have to take on all tasks for any position. Any help is appreciated, and even a little of your time can make a big difference in our neighborhood. Please read our Life in Canton (April 2025) feature article on our much-needed volunteer roles! Interested? Email info@CantonCommunity.org to learn more or sign up! Together, we can continue to build a stronger, more vibrant Canton.
