St Joseph’s “Clean Sweep” program is this week, in which residents can take yard waste, oil, liquid paint, batteries and tires on rims to the landfill for free.

The landfill is located at 9431 SE 50th Rd.

Hours are weekdays from 7am – 4:30pm, and on Saturday from 7am to 2pm

Here are the rules:

1. Eligibility for “Clean Sweep” is based upon City taxes on personal property (Look for SJ beside tax amount on County tax receipt). Present tax receipt and picture ID prior to entering the Landfill

2. If you were non-assessed (didn’t own a vehicle) you have to obtain a non-assessment card from the Buchanan County assessor’s office and present the card along with picture ID prior to entering the Landfill.

3. Individual(s) using “Clean Sweep” must notify gate attendant prior to entering the Landfill that they are using the “Clean Sweep” program. If the gate attendant is not notified, the individual(s) will be charged the normal rate.

4. Individual(s) using the “Clean Sweep” must be present and have some form of picture ID.

5. No company vehicles may be used under “Clean Sweep” operations; even if, household materials are being hauled.

6. Only vehicles that are normally charged a flat stated rate may be used for “Clean Sweep”; such as, automobiles, pickups, and two-wheeled trailers. You cannot use four-wheeled trailers, dual-wheeled trucks, or rent-all vans.

7. Individual(s) may not use multiple vehicles. Example: Using three pickups on one person(s) “Clean Sweep”.

8. There will be no refunds because individual(s) did not follow proper procedures, whether it is that day’s business or prior day’s business.

Individual(s) who have recently divorced will only be allowed to use a “Clean Sweep” day if their first name is on the tax receipt.
