SIKESTON -- Sikeston's two-week Spring Clean-up, which gives residents an opportunity to dispose of bulky rubbish during their regular solid waste pick-ups, begins March 11.
Residents with Monday and Thursday trash collection will have their spring clean-up opportunities on Monday and March 14. Those with Tuesday and Friday solid waste pick-up will have their fall clean-up collections on March 19 and March 22.
Those with curbside pick-up will place their bulky items at the curb on their designated collection days while those with alley pick-up will place their bulky items in the alley along with their household trash. Absolutely no construction, contractor, commercial or business waste will be taken during this clean-up. Carpeting, drywall, paneling, wood flooring, cabinets, windows, and sewer pipes are considered construction and will not be taken. These items can be picked up for an additional charge by calling Sonny's Solid Waste at 471-2869.
All items must be close together in one area next to the curb or in the alley. Do not place items you do not want disposed of close to rubbish or items to be hauled off as they may be taken by mistake. Sonny's Solid Waste Inc. is not responsible or replace any items taken if they are next to the alley or curb on pick-up days. All 55-gallon barrels to be thrown away must be completely empty, as loaded barrels are too heavy for SSW employees to handle without possible injury.
