City-Wide Clean-up Day in Litchfield

The city-wide clean-up day in Litchfield is coming up on May 16th from 8-to-10:30 a.m. It’s for Litchfield residents only and it will be held this year in the parking lot by the football field at East 6th Street and North Gilman Avenue.

Keith Johnson says people will want to line up with their loads facing east on 6th Street. He says it’s only $25 per load with $5 fees for any additional TVs or mattresses and it’s a good way to get your property cleaned up.

Johnson says they will not accept items like paint, glass, shingles, cars, boats or any hazardous items. He says each load is inspected and you will need to have a driver’s license or utility bill to prove that you are a Litchfield resident.

Johnson says there is an option for people over age 75 or disabled to get items picked up at their curb, but you need to sign up for that at City Hall by 4:30 p.m. on May 11th. He says the Litchfield Lions Club is coordinating this event with the City of Litchfield and they get lots of volunteers to help including members of Jeff Wollin’s baseball team.
