The City of Northfield and City of Dundas are both hosting their Clean-Up Day, Saturday morning and Northfield Area Fire Chief Tom Nelson is encouraging everyone to take advantage of these opportunities.
“Just look around the house and say, do we need this stuff, do we need this box of stuff? That is all fire load so declutter. It’s the perfect time of year: Dundas and Northfield will be having their clean-up days. Declutter your garage, and declutter your home.” – Tom Nelson, Northfield Area Fire Chief on the KYMN Morning Show
Nelson also reminded residents that burning trash is not an option, noting a recreational fire should not be big enough to burn waste:
“The flames and fuel aren’t supposed to be more than two feet high of fuel, so like think of a campfire. And its not going to burn all the junk around the lawn. Yes, you can use sticks to get it going, but the whole ultimate goal is not getting rid of wood and stuff that goes the compost.” – Tom Nelson, Northfield Area Fire Chief on the KYMN Morning Show
The compost site is open Tuesdays – Sundays.
