Windsor Utility customers are invited to participate in the Spring Clean-Up event May 13 and 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be held at the Public Services facility, 922 N. 15th St., and is limited to Windsor Utility customers. The event is free to attend and offers electronic, yard waste and scrap metal recycling in addition to general household trash disposal. An original voucher is required to participate and must be redeemed at the time of participation. Vouchers were included in the April Windsor utility bill. Photocopied vouchers will not be accepted.
At the event, residents will turn in their original voucher and then will be guided to drive up and drop-off their materials at corresponding stations. Residents will be responsible for unloading their own items at each station. To maximize the amount of materials that can be recycled, please separate tree branches from general organic yard waste and other items. Loads with trash mixed throughout will be unable to be recycled.
One voucher is available to each Windsor Utility household and can be redeemed for one carload drop-off at the event. If the voucher is misplaced, residents can bring valid identification such as a driver’s license to Windsor’s Town Hall, 301 Walnut St., during regular business hours for a replacement.
