Yes, it's that time of the year again! The sure sign that Winter is behind us and there are brighter and tidier days ahead.
You guessed it - Hillsborough's Annual Clean-Up has arrived. Coupons are available at the Public Works Office until April 25th - I picked mine up yesterday. You can find all of the rules here.
Now I have to get back out to the garage and continue sorting - I know my lawn mower is in there somewhere, not to mention the kids' bikes and the barbecue stuff. I just have to clear out all this JUNK to find it!
I must say, this is completely ridicules! The system seems like it is meant to be difficult so that people find other ways to get rid of their garbage. I just called and even if I pick up a coupon today I can’t dump it until July. Maybe I should just keep it in my front yard until then…but I’d probably get a fine for that. Each household should have at least one time a year when they can dump their big items…without worrying about getting to the public works department at 7AM.
ReplyDeleteMike - the system is a little strange, but it does seem to work. Years ago they did it differently. The town was split into quadrants - each of the four sections had a designated weekend to bring all of their junk to the dump site. At least this way you have a chance to choose a Saturday that is convenient - or at least more convenient - instead of being locked into the day chosen for your section.
