Become a subscriberCanton will set out dumpsters at 1st and Railroad streets in the empty city lot from 7 a.m. Friday, Sept. 11, through 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, for residents clearing household junk. According to the city's notice, the dumpsters will be available until that Sunday deadline or until they are full, so the window could close earlier.
The notice says residents who need help hauling items must call the City Office by 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, to be put on the pickup list. Maintenance crews will take only items placed at the edge of the property, and everything must be out to the curb before 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 12.
The notice asks residents to keep several common items out of the collection: "Please do not place rubber tires, oil, paint, hazardous materials, or very large items in the dumpsters or out for pick up." It names no alternative disposal site for those items and does not define "very large items."
The dumpster site sits on Railroad Street, which the city recently asked residents to avoid during water tower painting; the clean-up notice does not say whether that work will still be underway.
