Dauphin’s Fall Clean-Up begins soon, where city crews will be picking up your compostable materials.
Pick-up starts on Monday, October 5th in the Day 4 garbage and recycling area, and crews will work backwards from that area. This is a one-time pick-up only.
Director of Public Works and Operations, Bill Brenner, clears up some common mistakes people make with their fall clean-up pile.
“If there is any garbage or anything other than those compostable materials we will not pick up the pile. We do get people who try to put old lumber or those kinds of things in there. That is not permitted. It’s basically grass, leaves, trees and branches, and garden waste. That’s all that can be in the pile or else we will leave it behind.”
Materials are to be placed near your back lane for pick-up. If you don’t have a back lane, place your materials on the boulevard near the curb.
Compost materials can be dropped off at any time at the City Waste Disposal Site northwest of Dauphin.
