Richland County is having a special community “clean sweep” for the Arbors at Village Lakeshore and Village at Lakeshore communities in District 7, making it easy for residents to dispose of household items not normally accepted at curbside collections.
Residents of the Arbors at Village Lakeshore can participate in the clean sweep, which is organized by Richland County Councilwoman Gwendolyn Kennedy, District 7, and Special Services, a division of Public Works. Items must be placed curbside Friday, July 27, as workers will begin picking up the items at 8 a.m. Saturday, July 28.
The following items will be accepted:
Tires
Yard waste
Bulk items (furniture, washers and dryers, refrigerators, push mowers free of gas and oil, bicycles,
disassembled swing sets, etc.)
Similar materials should be placed together in separate piles (keep tires together, bulk items together, yard waste together, etc.) Items not accepted include hazardous waste, batteries, electronics and liquid waste.
Special Services officers will patrol the neighborhoods to offer assistance the day of the clean sweep.
