YOAKUM CLEAN UP PROGRAM

It is time for the City of Yoakum semiannual

Clean Up Program. Starting today and through

April 30, the following services will be offered in

an effort to assist local residents in making Yoakum

a better place to live, work, and play:

Free residential bulk item pick up will not be

available for this program.

In addition to regular garbage pickup, residents

will have the opportunity to bring any large items

to the Solid Waste Management Facility for free

disposal.

Items will not be picked up inside or outside of

the city limits of Yoakum.

For your convenience, the Solid Waste Management

Facility will be open 8 a.m.-1 p.m. on April 30

for Yoakum citizens with valid utility bills.

A remote site will be available 8 a.m.-1 p.m. on

April 30 at N. South and Airport Rd. across from

the Rodeo Grounds for drop off of household

waste, large household items, and non-commercial

tires.

No limbs, electronics, or metal will be accepted

at this location.

Commercial tires, appliances with refrigerants,

paint, hazardous waste, and concrete cannot be

accepted at the Solid Waste Transfer Station. A

limit of four tires per household will be accepted.

Limbs, brush, and yard waste will not be picked

up in coordination with the Clean Up Event; these

will be picked up with the city’s normal chipping/

yard waste routes.

As a reminder, the Solid Waste Management

Facility is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and

Friday 8:15 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and on Wednesdays 8:15

a.m.-4 p.m. (closed from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.) The

facility is also open each Saturday 8 a.m.-noon.

Citizens are allowed to dump permitted items

free of charge with the presentation of a City of

Yoakum utility bill. Appliances (without refrigerants),

furniture, computers, and computer accessories

are accepted.

Citizen volunteers are asked to join a debris/

litter collection effort throughout Yoakum in an

effort to beautify our community.

Organizations wishing to participate in the

Clean Up Program through this method may contact

City Hall between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. for location

coordination and equipment (grabbers, trash

bags, etc.) to assist with the effort.

For more information or anyone interested in

volunteering their time or equipment, please contact

Community involvement is a must for this to

be a success!
