The City encourages residents to take advantage of this cleanup opportunity
PORT LAVACA, Texas – With the month of May approaching, many Port Lavaca citizens will be working to tidy up and beautify their homes and community, as part of the city’s beautification event “Sweet into Spring…and make room for Summer” set for Friday, April 30 and Saturday, May 1.
Many people have been asking Port Lavaca Public Works Director Wayne Shaffer about having a citywide cleanup, as it begins to make a comeback.
“Here’s your opportunity,” said Shaffer, regarding the two-day event.
The cleanup will start at 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Friday, April 30 and 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, May 1. For the publics use, roll-off dumpsters will be located at the city’s wastewater treatment plant, 800 N. Commerce Street.
According to Shaffer, no hazardous materials or electronics will be accepted. Construction debris, brush, metals, plastics, cardboard and such items will be allowed. Household furniture and appliances will also be accepted but must be free of refrigerant. Tires will be accepted with a fee, but must be separated from the rims.
Port Lavaca City Manager Jody Weaver suggests to those who don’t have disposable items lying around their own homes to take advantage of this opportunity on Saturday and select a place around the city to pick up litter. Weaver has decided to tackle the wetlands area at Lighthouse Beach Park and is looking for a few men and women to help with the cleanup.
“On weekends, I walk four to five miles around town for exercise and, unfortunately, it’s easy to find litter to pick up along the way,” Weaver said.
Call the Public Works Department at 361-552-3347 for more information regarding the cleanup.
