Lovilia Clean up the City day
This will be Saturday, June 13, from 7am-11am. A dumpster will be placed on the street near the post office. Items must be delivered to the dumpster during those hours.
Go to city hall this week to buy tags for items that are charged for at the landfill. This includes appliances, TVs, computers, water heaters. If you are not sure if you need a tag stop at city hall.
The City Code of Ordinances (laws) allows for nuisance abatement and residents who do not clean up their property could be fined or other costs charged to them. A copy of the ordinance can be viewed in the city hall window and the post office.
Reminder: no one will come to pick up your trash. You must take it to the dumpster yourself.
Let’s make our town an attractive place to live.
