“I am excited for the citizens of Alton to be able to dispose of large bulky items. This is a great opportunity for our citizens to be able to dispose of their large, bulky items free of charge and also hopefully reduce the illegal dumping that occurs in our city on a regular basis. I want to thank Republic Services and Probationary Alton Clean Up Program (P.A.C.U.P) Department supervisor Thom DeGrand for their efforts in organizing this important event for the citizens of Alton.” said Mayor David Goins.
Any questions should be directed to the Alton Clean Up Program (P.A.C.U.P) at 463-3579.
