The annual Buff Up the Bluff clean-up will be 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12. The City of Poplar Bluff is partnering with Henson’s Transfer Station. All drop-offs will be at their facility on the Industrial Park Bypass, 355 CR 305, in South Poplar Bluff.
Proof of city residency will be required at the gate. Drivers must be prepared to unload their own vehicles.
Bulky items
The materials to be accepted at the site include bulky items and non-garbage solid waste; bulky metal items such as scrap metal, lawnmowers and other lawn equipment; and items such as furniture, carpeting and construction materials.
Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners must have their compressors removed before they are brought. Items with compressors will not be accepted.
Additionally, no loads of asphalt shingles, trash from business or construction sites, or full paint cans are allowed (empty paint cans are acceptable).
Tires
Tires will be accepted by Henson’s with the following charges: $4 per passenger car/light truck tire, $15 per large truck tire, $20 per Super Singles or equivalent tire and $45 per farm tire or rubber tracks. There is an additional 3% user fee if using a card.
No tires on rims will be accepted.
Limbs, brush and leaves
Limbs, leaves and brush will need to be taken to the East Side leaf disposal site, approximately one-quarter mile east of the corner of South F Street and County Road 604. Only yard waste will be accepted at this site — no logs, stumps, wire, or metal — and all must be of manageable size.
Leaves will be placed in a separate pile from all other materials. No plastic bags or foreign material may be left at the leaf disposal site.
Yard waste will not be picked up curbside. Unloading on site will be the responsibility of the persons hauling the yard waste.
