Elmore County’s Annual Operation Spring Clean & Monthly Countywide Cleanup Day is Saturday April 6th

Litter is a problem throughout Elmore County and on Saturday April 6th and there will be two ways we can all participate to clean up.

Operation Spring Clean:

The County Commission spends many tax dollars annually for personnel to do nothing but pick up roadside litter disposed of by those that take little pride in the appearance of the community we all live in.

We see litter along many roads throughout the county. There are a few roads that this is a chronic problem and for those of us that take great pride in the appearance of our community, here is an opportunity to help clean it up.

On Saturday April 6th the Elmore County commission is organizing Operation Spring Clean. Through the County Highway Department participating groups and individual volunteers are being assigned specific roads to remove this litter. Trash bags and safety vest will be provided along with assistance from county personnel to remove filled garage bags.

This program is being supported by Advanced Disposal and the Alabama PALS program.

If you want to participate in this effort please contact the Elmore County Highway Department at 334-567-1162.

Countywide Cleanup:

The normal monthly Countywide Cleanup will also take place on April 6th  

Trucks will be at the locations below from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. or until the truck is full.

The pick-up sites are for residents to bring amounts of trash larger than the normal residential trash container will accommodate.

Limbs smaller than four feet and no more than six inches in diameter will be accepted but it is not designed to accept trash or clean-up debris from contractors.

Items such as batteries, appliances, oils and gases, paints or thinners will not be accepted.

These are the pick-up sites for Saturday April 14:
Coosada Post Office
Holtville High School
Elmore County Judicial Complex
CEWSA – Redland Facility
Emerald Mountain Equestrian Center
Kent – Old Highway Department

If you have any questions about these two opportunities please let me know.
