Two Locations Added to County Wide Clean Up for Saturday Only

TYLER — Citizens wishing to take part in the Smith County Wide cleanup this weekend may take advantage of two locations added for this Saturday only. Along with the Greenwood Farms Landfill, citizens will also have the opportunity to drop off bulky items Saturday from 9 a.m. � 4 p.m. at Spring Creek Baptist Church, 13915 CR 46, and Jones Valley Church of God in Christ on Texas College Rd. The Clean Up continues through April 12.

Twice a year the Smith County Environmental Crimes Unit, Smith County Sheriff�s Office, precinct constables, and Smith County Commissioners Court team up to host the Clean Up event. Vouchers are now available to the public that can be exchanged for one free visit to any of the available locations. Smith County residents may dispose of three cubic yards of trash and bulky items per person (the approximate equivalent of a full-sized truck bed). Vouchers are available to pick up at all Justice of the Peace and Constable Precinct offices or at the Smith County Courthouse Annex. There is a limit of one voucher per household, and businesses may not participate in the voucher program.

The vouchers may be used at Greenwood Farms Landfill Monday-Friday from 6:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to noon. The vouchers are accompanied by a detailed list of items that Greenwood Farms Landfill, an Allied Waste Company, will not accept. Directions and a map to the Greenwood Farms Landfill are also provided. Items not accepted during the County Wide Clean Up include hazardous waste, pesticides, herbicides, solvents, gasoline, oils, paint, acid, batteries, asbestos, Freon, whole tires, refrigerators, freezers, televisions, and computers.
