There won’t be a spring cleanup in Oskaloosa.  Monday night (4/1), the Oskaloosa City Council voted to end the spring cleanup program, where residents have put old appliances on the curb for city crews to pick up.  Oskaloosa City Manager Michael Schrock, Jr. recommended ending the spring cleanup and he explains why.

“When you take the totality of all the things that….our public work crews have going on, they need to get away from doing that type of work for the community and focus more on getting the roads improved, focus on pothole repairs.”

Schrock says ending the spring cleanup will save the City more than $15,000.  He says residents can contact their trash hauler about picking up larger items…or take them to the Mahaska County Landfill.
