To help spruce up the Town of North Judson and assist residents with cleaning up their properties, officials will be bringing in some dumpsters during the month of May for a spring clean-up.
Town Marshal Kelly Fisher presented town council members with two estimates Monday night for different companies who could provide services for this type of event.
A quote from Fisher Auction and Salvage Company amounted to a flat rate of $1,950 and Republic Services submitted a quote of $2,467.74 plus a one time charge of $535 for environmental and fuel coverage.
Members made a unanimous decision to utilize the company Fisher Auction and Salvage.
Marshal Fisher shared what the company will be willing to accept the day-of, “If anybody wanted to bring tires, they would charge $4 a piece to take the tires.”
She continued, “They would take care of disposing of the Freon in refrigerators, stoves and any other yard junk, they said they would accept that. They didn’t want to take any toxic waste though”
Fisher noted that this company is also willing to send someone along with the containers to assist with the event, which was not an option offered by Republic Services.
The dumpsters will be monitored and in order to be eligible to use the service, proof of residency will be required. Citizens will need to bring a water bill with their name and address.
Officials noted the spring clean-up event will likely be held toward the end of May but an official date hasn’t been set yet. Residents are encouraged to keep on an eye on their water bills for that announcement.
