SHERBURN — Clean Up Day in Sherburn will be on May 10. Items should be on the curb by 6 a.m. A flag needs to be purchased by noon on May 2 at the City Hall. Each $25 flag is for a section that measures four feet by six feet. The Waste Management truck will not make a loop but will stop only once. Put things out before 6 a.m. or the night before. There is a list on the City’s Facebook post of acceptable and unacceptable items. This is for Sherburn residents only. There will be a free drop-off site behind City Hall. No appliances. This might be a good opportunity to get rid of the items that would be an ordinance violation.

The Sherburn Burn Site is open for Sherburn residents only from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 3.
