The City of Thompson has commenced their city-wide Spring Clean Up.
Taking place throughout the month of May, the initiative was started in order to get Thompsonites to help keep their city clean and beautiful, and has been an annual program for nearly a decade.
Director of Public Works Wayne Koversky talks about some of the incentives Thompsonites have for getting involved in the Clean Community Day on May 14th.
“We’re going to be set up at Robin’s Donuts from 9 am to 4 pm. What we’re doing that day is trash for cash, $3 a bag, and that day recycling will be paying $4 per bag. So if it’s recyclable material, they’re going to pay $4 that day.”
Koversky also talked about the Business Challenge taking place on May 13th, as well as e-waste disposal at the City’s landfill.
"It's going to be starting May 7th at the landfill. There's no charge for any electronics, just bring it down to the landfill, 8 am to 4 pm, we'll have a staff member there. Plus we're opening the landfill for residents cleaning up their yards that day, it'll be open every Saturday until October 29th."
