BROKEN BOW – The City of Broken Bow has announced the date for its first City-Wide Cleanup of 2023: April 29 will let residents kick start their spring cleaning efforts by helping out their community.
The cleanup provides a chance to help residents dispose of items that either won’t fit in standard trash bins, or won’t be taken by waste services at all. This includes brick, old lawn mowers, bicycles, and the like, miscellaneous metal, car batteries, and all appliances without Freon; this would exclude refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and water coolers.
In addition to Freon-reliant appliances, the city will refuse to accept tires, paint, motor oil, lawn and garden chemicals, or household waste and chemicals. Pesticide containers and used oil may be accepted at the Custer County Recycling Center, however.
Residents will be able to drop off their difficult items at no charge between Tomahawk Park and Paul Brown Field on the day of the cleanup between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
The city’s tree dump will be participating in the cleanup twice as well. On Saturday, April 29 and Saturday, May 6, between 8:30 a.m. and noon, and again between 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., the site will be open for those looking to dispose of any quantity of yard waste, which includes trees and branches, wood pallets, untreated and unpainted lumber, yard waste including grass, leaves, and garden scraps, flowers and bushes, and concrete, as long as it does not contain rebar or wire mesh. A flyer is attached.
