Dispose of, donate, and recycle unwanted items is the focus of Fairfield Twp.’s Spring Clean Up day.

Set for April 26, the event will take place at two locations: the township administration building, 6032 Morris Road; and 2659 Tylersville Road, at the old fire department/service building.

Items will be accepted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. – or until all the dumpsters are full, said Chuck Goins, assistant township administrator. Proof of township residency is required at both locations.

“The community always comes out for this event – the residents mark the date on their calendar,‘’ Goins said.

Last year 51 tons of junk and debris were collected along with 300 tires, five pallets of latex paint, 1,632 gallons of documents for shredding and a full box truck of reusable items that went to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goins said.

Residents going to the Morris Road site can enter at North Elementary School. Ten, 30-yard dumpsters will be set up in a space behind the township’s fire headquarters and the school.

There, residents can drop off non-hazardous debris, brush, yard waste, and up to nine passenger vehicle tires off the rims.

“It’s not as large of a location. We don’t have enough room for the big dumpsters,‘’ Goins said.

Volunteers will be available at the Morris Road site to direct traffic and help unload. Others will be assigned to pick up trash at community parks and near the bike trail near Canal Street.

Volunteers will be treated to a free lunch provided by Chick-fil-A and a T-shirt (while they last).
