OC and Alton residents will have an opportunity to safely discard those household hazardous materials (HHM). On Wednesday, May 1st, the Cities of OC and Alton and the NW IA Area Landfill will co-sponsor a HHM Recycling event from 4 – 7 pm in the downtown Windmill Park next to the dutch band shell. Accepted items are degreaser, waxes/polishes, solvents, lacquers/thinners, caustic cleaners, stain removers, pesticides/herbicides, and oil based paints. Only latex paints will be assessed a $1/gal. fee. Go to www.nwialandfill.com/hhm  for a complete list of acceptable/unacceptable items.

OC’s Annual Spring Clean-Up, sponsored by the City of OC and OC Sanitation, will be held April 22-27. OC residents must purchase a $10 lawn flag (one for each household) from the City Office (125 Central Ave. SE) or OC Sanitation (710 Ohio St. SW). Sanitation crews will only remove those items that have a special lawn flag displayed nearby. All disposed items must be placed at your usual pickup site on your regular garbage pickup day. Allowable items: garage and home items, furniture/wood stuffs and mattresses/carpets. Non-allowable items: all appliances/white goods, building-remodeling materials, wood chips, auto parts (tires, batteries, etc.), concrete, steel/iron, yard waste, tree branches, oil, yard chemicals, or wet paints. Special pickup arrangements may be available for these items with OC Sanitation (737-2645). With the Tulip Festival just around the corner, we want OC to shine “spic & span” for our visiting guests.
