ROYSTON – The City of Royston will sponsor a free cleanup week April 10-14.
During the week, the city will pickup unwanted white goods and dispose of them for free.
The free service is part of ongoing city efforts to clean up and make the two more attractive.
Mayor Keith Turman has said that potential business owners look at all parts of the city when considering whether to locate a business.
White goods for the clean up should be placed on the sidewalk, curb or at roadside for city crews.
White goods include large household items (sofas, love seats, recliners, mattresses, box springs, dressers); household appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, water heaters, freezers, etc.); and outdoor items (push or riding lawn mowers and any other outdoor equipment), as well as smaller items.
Any item that contains gas or oil should be drained before pickup.
Items that cannot be collected include asphalt, concrete, chemical products, bio-hazard materials, medical waste, animals, dead animals, all liquids, explosives, flammables, petroleum products, empty paint cans, oil-lubricants, solvents, batteries, barrels, fluorescent bulbs-tubes, poisons, pesticides, herbicides, asbestos, dirt, demo bricks, oil-filters, radioactive materials, solid lead or waste from contaminated structures, logs, stumps, large tree trimmings and tires.
Another week-long clean-up event is scheduled for October.
