Anyone wishing to dispose of items can take them to the Allen Road car park between 9.30am and 11.30am and the Crow Hill Community Centre car park from 1.45pm and 4pm on March 21.

A team of people will be on standby ready to help if needed and there will also be a community litter pick around the area.

Cllr Steven North, leader of East Northamptonshire Council, said: “We are always trying to find ways to help residents across East Northants clear out those unwanted items and after the success of previous amnesties, we were keen to partner once again with other like-minded organisations.
