(Seguin) — Guadalupe County residents are being encouraged to mark their calendars for what the county hopes will be the first of many bulk trash collection days.
Similar to Seguin’s city clean-up days, the county is finalizing plans for its own summer collection effort.
Guadalupe County Public Information Officer Carmen Davila says officials have been working to provide the service to county residents.
She says not only is there a need for disposal services for regular household trash, but over the years, residents have struggled with debris left behind by storms that have rolled through the area, including the storm that hit parts of the county earlier this month.
“So, when we had the closing of the collection stations when we didn’t have anyone bid on those contracts to continue to leave those collection stations in Marion and Kingsbury that was something that the county decided that eventually we will attempt to have a bulk trash cleanup day and this is the result of that,” said Davila.
Although specific details for the event have not yet been released, Davila says the county wanted to give people a heads up about the event, in hopes that it would give residents a chance to start thinking about the items that they want to get rid of during the bulk trash event.
“Getting the word out is important so that people can plan. I know if you are going to do a cleanup, you want to be able to plan in advance June 8. It will be 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. That’s the preliminary time,” said Davila.
The tentative date for the county cleanup is Saturday, June 8.
The event will be held at the Central Location for the road and bridge department.
The area, near the Guadalupe County Jail, is located just behind the county’s Development Center at 310 Interstate 10, across the highway from Home Depot.
