Saturday the 27th was the Precinct 1 Fall Clean Up which covers most of the Van Alstyne area. For those that don’t know, County Commissioner John Waltrip does a bi- annual clean up. You can take all of the things you have lying around the house that 
you want to get rid of to the County Barn at 1312 Hwy 1417 in Sherman and they will take them to the dump for free. Not only that, they will even sweep out your trailer, courtesy of a trustee in a stripped suit.
It was held between 7:30 and 2 Pm on Sat. If you missed it, there will be another one in the Spring. Just remember, nothing hazardous and no chemicals like paint. So if your wife isn’t happy with your yard art or that lawn mower is still in the same place it died two years ago, you know what to do. They will also take up to four tires and old appliances. It’s nice to see a benefit from your tax money and hopefully it will reduce people dumping on the side of the road.
Call 903-893-2033 for more details & to get information on the Spring Clean Up date.
