The Town of Thompson has announced the Spring Clean Up dates for 2021. From May 1st to May 15th, Town of Thompson residents located outside the Village of Monticello can dispose of up to 500 pounds of household materials at no charge.

WHEN: May 1 – May 15 | Monday-Friday 8am-2pm | Saturday 8am-11am

WHERE: Monticello Transfer Station-Landfill on East Broadway

“One of our top Thompson Forward goals is to ensure our community looks its best. That’s why we encourage you to dispose of any debris and large items – for free – during the Spring Cleanup event. If you have sensitive documents to get rid of, please bring those to the Town Shred Day on May 15th instead. We hope these two events help with your spring cleaning efforts,” said Bill Rieber, Town of Thompson Supervisor.
