Clean-up Days are coming

Saratoga residents will have an opportunity to make their town even more beautiful this weekend with the Saratoga Clean-up Days.

Held annually the first weekend in May, Clean-up Days allows residents to dispose of their long-accumulated waste.

“It’s just an attempt to clean up our town,” Randy Raymer, Chairman of the Upper North Platte River Solid Waste District said. “It’s an organized effort that the community participates in.”

Residents are allowed to dispose of recycling, trash and other waste for free this weekend, given that they are registered with the landfill.

“We do it over the course of two days,” Raymer said. “It takes quite a bit of dedication from the landfill workers and the volunteers.”

Clean-up Days also signify the beginning of regular hours at the landfill, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Clean-up Days will take place May 3 and May 4.
