Due to recent tornadoes in the Portage area, our contracted dumpster company has informed us there will not be dumpsters available for next week’s Spring Cleanup. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and plan to reschedule once dumpsters are available to us. We are working on rescheduling dates for this, and will let you know as soon as we have them available. Thank you for understanding.
