Go ahead and indulge in a Spring Fling - your neighborhood and community will be grateful you did. Clean out the garage, spruce up the yard, ditch that debris and Spring Fling it in to the roll-off container nearest you. Getting rid of your unwanted clutter has never been this fun - and this easy. City and county residents and business people are encouraged to participate in the fourth annual Spring Fling cleanup campaign on Saturday and Sunday, April 25th and 26th. Roll-off containers will be placed in all six city districts during the cleanup (see location list below), as well as two in the county. Citizens will have the opportunity to clean the areas in front of their homes and businesses, along with nearby vacant lots, and dispose items free of charge in the rolloff containers. Large or bulky items can be placed next to the rolloff if they are too heavy to lift. Brush will not be accepted. Hazardous waste such as paint, cleaning fluids or batteries are also not accepted; however, Sanitation will hold a free collection event for these materials in the fall.
Property Service) Program, the Spring Fling offers an alternative to illegal dumping. Residents are asked not to place electronic items in the rolloffs during the Spring Fling. Instead, items such as computer components, radios, televisions and microwaves can be brought to the recycling center at the Sanitation Department, 218 Runyon Street, weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. With the CAPS rate structure allowing one free pickup per year, this event provides additional free disposal service to city residents and is the perfect time to coordinate a neighborhood cleanup or club service project, or to earn student volunteer service hours. This event is for city and county residents only, and no commercial disposal is allowed. It is sponsored by the Southwest Central Regional Solid Waste Management District. For more information, call the Hot Springs Sanitation Department, 321-6911 or Hot Springs/Garland County Beautification Commission, 623-7871.
