Today is the first day of the City of Elizabethtown’s Spring Clean-Up program, which will run until (tentatively) May 1.
“The schedule coincides with brush collection, however, because of the amount of debris that is put out through the month, we will go through the areas not by the week, but we’ll start in area one on March 30, and we’ll continue to run the route schedule through the four areas throughout the month,” said City of Elizabethtown Public Works Director Don Hill during last week’s city council meeting. “Usually we make three to four passes throughout the city.”
Items for collection should be placed near the street so as not to interfere with traffic. Brush collection items should be placed separately from Spring Clean-Up items.
Smaller items should be secured in bags, which can be acquired from the Public Works office. Make sure you are not putting out items the city will not collect.
“No garbage, no household garbage, hazardous materials, liquids, construction debris, so if it’s a vacant lot and someone’s building a house, we’re not going to come through and pick up your debris from your construction, okay?” Hill said. “This is for residential properties only. We won’t pick up tires or automobiles.”
The last week of Spring Clean-Up will be when the city helps remove appliances.
“You call 270-737-7890 and make an appointment, and we will come by and pick up your appliances,” Hill said. “We note on appliances that if they contain freon, they need to be tagged showing that the freon has been removed in an approved manner.”
