Spring cleanup made easier

Local cities and towns will help get the community cleaned up in the next couple weeks with the annual Spring Clean-up program.

Local residents can take organic yard waste to the Delano Transfer Station free of charge on Tuesday through Friday, April 22-25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and on Saturday, May 3.

No household waste is allowed on these days, just yard waste like grass, leaves and tree limbs and other woody waste, but no stumps. The chipper

Loads must be covered for transport. ID is required to show you live in the area.

The areawide event at the transfer station is funded by a local solid waste financial assistance grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology.

In addition, check with your city hall for specifics on city pickup days, if any, which depends on each city’s capabilities.
