Fall clean-up days set for next week for City of Aledo residents. Here’s a few reminders from Mayor Chris Hagloch.
Large appliances such as refrigerators and stoves will also be collected during this service, but they must include an appliance tag. City Hall offers appliance tags for purchase year-round at $5.00 per appliance, which must be attached to the appliance before any scheduled pick-up day.
It’s important to note that some items are prohibited during this pick-up event. Prohibited items include yard waste, TVs, tires, batteries, oil, paint, other toxic substances and items over 50 lbs.
As some items are not allowed in landfills, they cannot be picked up during the clean-up event and must be disposed of via Aledo’s E-Cycle program. For example, paint and electronics such as televisions and computer parts must be taken to the Aledo Street Division Garage, located at 309-311 E. Main Street. This program is open on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month from 9:00 a.m. until Noon and 12:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m.
