Tuesday, June 1, 2021 - It's time once again to Chunk Your Junk!
The City of Sallisaw will be placing dumpsters to the west of the city's Electric Department, 213 W. Quesenbury St., on Saturday, June 12, just north of the railroad tracks off North Elm Street.
The event, which is for residential customers within Sallisaw city limits, will be from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Customers will be asked to provide their utility bill as proof of residency.
This year the city is also teaming up with Clean Harbors Environmental Services to hold a household hazardous waste disposal event the same time as Chunk Your Junk. Just bring your items (see below for a list of what's acceptable), stay in your car and a Clean Harbors staff member will assist you with the disposal. Be sure and bring a valid driver's license.
City personnel will be on hand to supervise all unloading, but customers will be responsible for placing their unwanted items and yard waste in the dumpsters.
All materials must originate from residential property and all items must be easily handled. There must be no heavy items that require equipment or shovels to unload. In addition, all refuse materials must fit in a normal, half-ton truck bed with no side rails. Trailers up to 16 feet with no side rails will also be allowed. All loads are subject to be turned away based on contents and weight.
