This weekend, bring items to Nordstroms, Garbage-N-More
This weekend, the City of Garretson will be hosting its annual Clean Up Day on Earth Day, April 22. During this time, Garretson and Sherman residents will be able to beautify the areas around their home by getting rid of large items.
This is not a "leave junk on the curb" junk days, and there are two options depending on the items to be cleared.
On Friday, Nordstrom's Automotive, located at 25513 480th Ave, will be taking automotive batteries, car and pick up tires (limit 8 per household, no businesses), fluids of any sort from within the vehicle (oils, antifreeze) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
On Saturday, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., residents are encouraged to bring large items to Garbage-N-More, located at 708 Nordstrom Avenue. Residents can bring anything except everyday garbage, paint cans, electronics, lawn chemicals, and unpainted construction wood or branches.
Furniture, appliances, and painted wood will be accepted. Mattresses, box springs, and tires will be accepted for a charge (tires must be off-rim). Please keep in mind that after hours drop offs will not be allowed, and the dumpsters are provided for Garretson/Sherman residents only. To keep traffic flowing smoothly, Garbage-N-More asks residents to come in off Nordstrom Avenue and drive around the back of the building to exit.
Chargeable item costs: Mattresses - $15 each; Box Springs - $15 each; Tires (MUST BE OFF RIM)-$5 each.
Non-acceptable items can be brought to the Hazardous Waste Facility at 1015 E Chambers St, Sioux Falls.
The branch pile is located south of town, east of River Ridge Golf Course on 254th St, and accepts yard waste such as branches, grass clippings, and shrubbery. No painted wood or garbage is allowed, and the branch pile is reserved for Garretson area residents only.
Springdell 4-H will be helping with the clean-up effort on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to Noon and will be available to pick up items for a donation to the club (along with any extra fees that may be incurred). This is helpful for anyone who does not own a large vehicle or will not be around that day. Pre-registration is required, and can be done by contacting Anna Uhl at 605-310-7253.
