The “Keep Lincoln County Beautiful 2025 Spring Cleanup” kicked off April 26, and will continue for the next two Saturdays, May 3 and May 10.
From 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. on those days, items will be accepted at the Brookhaven Transfer Station, 463 County Farm Lane NE. Accepted items include scrap metal, electronics, mattresses, furniture, white goods like washers and dryers, carpets and rugs and porcelain toilets and sinks.
Items that will not be accepted are fuel, chemicals, vegetative debris, construction materials, oilfield pipes, pressurized containers and metal drums — along with hazardous materials collected on Household Hazardous Waste Day, April 19, tires, paint, oil, fluorescent bulbs and batteries.
The spring cleanup is set up like a drive-through. Residents stay in their vehicles and crews inspect the items as they unload them to make sure they’re allowed. Knight asks that items in each load be grouped together if possible.
The spring cleanup days are open to Lincoln County residents. No scavenging of items is allowed.
