Fall Cleanup Starts Earlier In Dayton

DAYTON - Fall cleanup in Dayton will begin a week sooner than usual, according to Public Works Director Jim Costello.

Pickup from the alleys will get underway Nov. 7, starting on the north end of town and work south. All materials must be compostable with garden waste, vines, shrubs and tree and shrub trimmings no larger than 2.5 inches across at the largest end (about the diameter of a pop can).

Grass clippings, sod with dirt, rocks, bricks, garbage, roofing, metal, etc. are not acceptable.

"If we come by and your items are not out, we will not come back for them," Costello said.

City crews will not be picking up bagged leaves. That's a job Basin Disposal will take on with a separate truck outside regular Monday and Thursday routes. The dates for leaves pickup are Nov. 14, 21 and 28.
