During the recent Jackson Town Council meeting, Mayor RM Jorgensen announced the upcoming Community Spring Cleanup Week, scheduled from May 5 to May 10, 2025. This annual event, which has been a tradition since 1969, aims to engage residents in beautifying the town while promoting sustainability practices.

The mayor emphasized the importance of community involvement, stating that all citizens are caretakers of their environment. He highlighted the town's commitment to enhancing its scenic beauty and sustainability through various programs, including composting and waste reduction initiatives. As part of the cleanup efforts, the town will provide free compostable yard waste bags starting May 1, available at the town hall and public works.

On May 10, designated as Spring Cleanup Volunteer Day, residents are encouraged to gather at Philbock Park at 8 AM to participate in the cleanup activities. The Rotary Club will sponsor the event, organizing volunteers to help clean the community. Additionally, the Jackson County Public Works will offer free yard waste drop-off services at the County Fairgrounds on May 9, from 9 AM to 10 PM, to assist residents in disposing of their yard waste.

This initiative not only fosters community spirit but also reinforces Jackson's commitment to environmental stewardship, encouraging residents to take an active role in maintaining the town's natural beauty. As the date approaches, the town looks forward to a successful cleanup, showcasing the collective effort of its citizens.
