anawha County residents disposed of more than 400 tons of metal, electronics, debris and other unwanted items during the county’s spring cleanup, officials announced recently.
The county held two separate cleanup events in April. Residents could dispose of unwanted items at either of the two locations, one in Cabin Creek and one in Sissonville. The cleanups were open to anyone living in Kanawha County.
During the event, citizens were asked to bring trash, storm debris, unwanted appliances, air conditioners, tires, and recyclables like electronics, computers and car batteries to the two collection sites for disposal.
More than 2,200 vehicles dropped off items over the two days, officials said.
Officials noted that participants disposed of more than 3,200 tires, 372 tons of trash and debris, 46 tons of metal, and 9 tons of electronic items.
The Kanawha County Commission will hold another cleanup in the fall. Dates and locations of the fall events had not been released at the time of this writing.
