Clean Sweep

Clean Sweep is a collection and proper disposal of  hazardous materials.  By providing the public with a safe place to dispose of these wastes, we can keep these products out of landfills and protect the environment.  Grant County has been partnering with Iowa and Lafayette counties to provide an agricultural and household waste ‘Clean Sweep’ every 3 years.  This last Clean Sweep was held the fall of 2010.  The next anticipated Clean Sweep will be offered in the fall of 2013.
