Have any large items you’re looking to get rid of?  The City of Ottumwa and Bridge City Sanitation are holding a city-wide drop-off day this Saturday (4/23) from 7 to 11am at the Ottumwa Water Works, or Hydro, parking lot. Ottumwa Community Development Director Zach Simonson tells us what sort of things you can drop off.

“Folks can complete their spring cleaning by bringing in bulky items, old couches, mattresses, old furniture, things like that that people are trying to get rid of.  They can dispose of all of that for free in the Hydro parking lot.”

Simonson says they won’t accept construction debris, hazardous materials, tires, recyclables, yard waste and commercial waste.  They also won’t accept anything from out of town—only from Ottumwa residents, so you’ll need a driver’s license with a valid Ottumwa address.
