We will also be separating recyclable items such as tin, steel, aluminum, etc. We will have dumpsters on site for these items, so please keep this in mind when loading your truck or trailer.
You must be a resident of the City of Portland, Danby Township, or Portland Township to participate in the Community Clean Up.
You will be asked to furnish a picture I.D. by the Department of Public Works attendant before being allowed to unload your truck or trailer.
Each household will be limited to ONE TRUCK/PICK UP TRUCK LOAD in order to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate.
Please take advantage of this free opportunity to clean up your property, garage and home. If everyone does a little bit, we can all make a big difference in improving the appearance of our community.
