Northern Kentucky residents who have put off throwing out old appliances or tires can rid their property of eyesores this weekend, thanks to a statewide cleanup program.
“If it's out there, we want to get it,” said Nate Sturm, Northern Kentucky solid waste management coordinator.
Northern Kentucky residents have brought in everything from boats to satellite dishes, cleanup organizers said. “We even had a lady bring in four truckloads of garbage because she'd had a fire in her house, and a lot of her clothes and other belongings were ruined,” said Mary Shinkle, Boone County solid waste coordinator. “If someone's had an emergency situation where they've got all this extra garbage, they don't need to set it out eight weeks in a row. They can bring it in to us this weekend.”
