The City of Douglas would like to invite citizens of Douglas to participate in our cleanup days!!! Spring Junk Free Week is April 7 – 11th, 2014. Proof of living within the City of Douglas (such as a copy of a recent utility bill) is necessary to drop off junk items.
For citizens inside the city limits of Douglas, fees will be waived, during this one week, on big household and junk items. This will not apply to tires or hazardous chemicals. Items can be dropped off at the City of Douglas Pole Yard (off Pearl Avenue, behind the post office). A recycling bin will also be at this location for the convenience of dropping off recyclables. Citizens must provide a copy of their utility bill as residency proof.
In addition to Junk Free Week, the Great American Cleanup will be observed on April 12, 2014 from 8:00am-1:00pm. Individuals, churches, clubs and organizations are invited sign up to participate and earn community service hours. Participants should arrive at the Public Works Department between 8 and 8:30am for registration. The Great American Cleanup up will begin at 8:30am and last until 11:00am. Volunteers will be treated to a cook-out following the cleanup.
For more information on these activities, please call Public Works at 389-3450. Let's keep Douglas clean and beautiful!!
