?Operation Clean Sweep? Heads To Irvington

Posted on: Nov 7th, 2014 | Announcements

Residents in the south end of Mobile County will get the chance to spruce up their neighborhoods and dispose of unwanted household items and yard debris, during Operation Clean Sweep set for 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Saturday, November 8, at the Irvington Landfill off Half Mile Road. For the first time ever, electronics will be accepted for disposal, but only from 7 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The FREE community clean-up day allows area residents the opportunity to work with county officials and community service workers in a cooperative effort to make their neighborhoods a cleaner place to live. Other items being accepted include furniture, clothing, scrap metal and appliances. Items excluded for disposal are waste oil, oil filters, junk cars, dead animals, pressure tanks of any kind, explosives, aerosol cans, household garbage, tires or boats. There will be a crew at the site to help residents unload vehicles. Two boom trucks will be working simultaneously to load the materials onto dump trucks for disposal at another site. Operation Clean Sweep is a county wide program that encourages all Mobile County residents to work together, from picking up garbage on the side of the road to clearing junk out of homeowner?s yards. Operation Clean Sweep will provide a central location where you and your neighbors may dispose of your trash. Mobile County Environmental Enforcement Department invites citizens to sign up for an Operation Clean Sweep effort in their neighborhood. All it takes is for a group of 12 or more residents to be interested, select a team captain and call 574-STOP (7867).
