Town of Kirklin Newsletter March 2013 SPRING CLEANING It’s hard to believe that we have already reached the first day of spring. With the warmer weather on the way, it’s time to think about spring cleanup. This is a reminder that the town does have ordinances that require all property to be clean & free of junk vehicles, trash & debris. All vehicles must be in operable condition & have current license plates. Letters will begin going out within the next few weeks to those property owners who are in violation. You are allowed 8 bags of household trash for regular trash pick-up. Clinton County Disposal will pick up additional items for an extra fee. Please call 1-800-892-4804 to obtain more information. Taking care of your property will not only increase the value of your property, but it will make your neighbors happy too.
