18th ANNUAL RESIDENTIAL SPRING CLEAN-UP​
The City of Jonesville will be holding its 18th Annual Residential Spring Clean-Up. The pick-up is scheduled for Saturday, April 27th. LRS Waste Management will begin pick up at 7:00 A.M. All items must be placed at the curb prior to 7:00 A.M. on April 27, 2024; however, residents can start putting their items out starting Sunday, April 21st. Remember, “One person’s junk is another person’s treasure”, so you may see your items disappear before Saturday. If you are a “picker”, please be courteous when sorting and leave areas tidy, also please do so at a decent time, no later than 9:00 p.m.
This activity also allows residents the opportunity to comply with the Outdoor Storage “junk” Ordinance without incurring additional disposal costs. We encourage residents to participate and help keep Jonesville an attractive community in which to live, work and play. Properties not in compliance with the junk ordinance may receive a citation.
There is no limit as to the amount of items placed at the curb. The following items that can be placed out for pick up are: manageable bags/boxes less than 50 lbs., furniture, toys, bicycles, home fixtures, wheel rims. Unacceptable items include: Construction materials, yard waste, liquid or hazardous waste, tires, motor oil, and car batteries.
Contact the City Hall at (517) 849-2104 for additional details or visit the City’s website for a complete listing at www.jonesville.org.
If you have some metal “junk” items, the Jonesville American Legion raises funds by picking up scrap metal to support projects like the Freedom Memorial. Please feel free to give Larry Rathbun a call at (517) 425.1321 to arrange pick up.
JONESVILLE IS “THE REAL DEAL”
After sifting through nearly 80 entries, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) selected a new tagline that calls on Jonesville’s heritage as the home of the Deal Buggy Company and the Deal Automobile. Two different entrants suggested Jonesville be known as “The Real Deal.” The Jonesville City Council unanimously approved the DDA’s recommendation for the new tagline at their meeting on March 20th.
“We had many great entries and it made for a difficult decision,” said DDA Chair Don Toffolo. “We thought that the winning entry was clever and pithy. We liked that it incorporates a piece of Jonesville’s history.”
The creative slogan was submitted separately by two entrants, Paul Hosmer and Jeff Rowe. Each was the recipient of a prize of $50 in Jonesville Bucks. The City will be featuring marketing materials using the new tagline soon.
