LAKELAND — Keep Polk County Beautiful Inc. in partnership with Polk County Board of County Commissioners is bringing the “Clean It Up to Green It Up” program to the unincorporated Wabash and South Galloway communities Saturday.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this program that will consist of a large-scale trash pickup throughout the selected community. The program will provide disposal of items that are not generally collected with their residential garbage, such as remodeling and household construction debris (shingles, drywall, etc.) on this day only. All households are asked to participate by placing these items by the curb no later than 8 a.m. Absolutely no tires or hazardous waste will be collected curbside.

Also Saturday, a free tire-recycling event takes place from 8 a.m. to noon at the city of Lakeland Solid Waste Facility, 605 Evelyn Ave. Residents and agricultural land owners may dispose of up to 24 tires per vehicle. No tire businesses or automotive businesses of any kind will be permitted. Legal hauling limits will be strictly enforced.

In addition, old electronic items that are past their prime will be accepted, including computers, monitors, keyboards, terminals, televisions, stereos, printers, fax machines, video game consoles, wireless devices, old cell phones and similar devices.

Proper disposal of household hazardous wastes — including florescent light bulbs, motor oil, chemicals, and paint — will be a part of the program as well.
