Spruce Up Day

It’s that time of year again! The Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the city wide Spruce Up Days May 7 and May 8. The purpose of the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce is to support economic growth, by improving the quality of life and business climate in the Franklin County area. The Chamber believes that cleaning up the town is a great way to begin improving the quality of life.

Friday, May 7th you will be able to have your appliances and electronics picked up. Come to the chamber office at 5 1st St NW and get your sticker. Each sticker costs $25 and can be used to have the following items picked up. Microwaves, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, dishwasher, washer, dryer, hot water heater, furnace, air conditioner, dehumidifiers, vcrs, DVD players, stereos, computer towers, game systems, television or monitors. Each item will require a sticker and each sticker is $25. If there is no sticker, the item will be left.

The Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce is not picking up any items except for appliances and electronics. The Chamber would like to be able to pick up all your trash, but Waste Management is not providing the offloaders as they have in the past. Waste Management has also not renewed their membership with the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce. You can take your other items to the Landfill of North Iowa in Clear Lake. Their website is www.landfillnorthiowa.org
Saturday May 8th The Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce will pick up your bagged leaves and bundled sticks. Come to the chamber office and get your sticker. For $10, you will get 3 bags or 3 bundles, or a combination of the two, picked up. You will receive three stickers for a total of $10.

Saturday May 8th - Need mulch? This year the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce will deliver two wheelbarrows full of mulch to you for $10. Come to the Chamber office and purchase your flag. Then put the flag somewhere in your front yard area (so it can be seen from the street) and they will put the mulch there. If you need more than two wheelbarrows, purchase another flag for $10 and be sure to put it where you want the mulch delivered. Be sure the driver can see the flag(s) from the street.

The Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce will also have the downtown sidewalks washed and the street sweeper will come along and remove the dirt from the gutters. They invite the civic organizations in town to come out on Saturday and clean up downtown. Mainstreet Square, Bandshell Park and the Courthouse Square would all be a great place to begin. The retail organizations are invited as well to clean up in front of their stores.
