As flowers begin to bloom, some Polk County residents will begin preparations for spring cleaning.

If you want to rid your home of unused items or your yard of unsightly debris, the Polk County Landfill and Transfer Station is a spot to do so. The landfill is located just north of Mill Spring on Highway 9.

There is also an annual permit of $80, but this does not cover Construction and Debris materials.
