Roy Public Works to split spring Dumpster Day into two separate weeks to boost participation
Summary
Public Works Director Brandon proposed moving the city's spring cleanup from two consecutive weeks into two separate weeks (April and May). Council members signaled support; staff will post dates and promote the change.
Brandon (Public Works) asked the Roy City Council on Feb. 18 to change the city's spring cleanup schedule from two consecutive weeks to two separate weeks to increase participation.
Brandon told the council the division would run a week in April and a week in May rather than back‑to‑back weeks. Proposed dates presented at the meeting were April 14–19 and May 12–17 for spring; he also proposed fall dates of Sept. 29–Oct. 4 and Oct. 20–25. He said the first Saturday in the program typically draws the most people, with about 200 attendees on the busiest Saturday in past years.
Funding and operations: Staff confirmed the cleanup is paid from the solid waste utility (garbage utility) budget rather than the general fund; overtime and operational costs are charged to the program's budget line. Council members supported the staggered schedule as a way to spread demand and better serve residents.
Next steps: Council gave Brandon informal approval to proceed and asked that the new dates be posted on the city website and promoted through the city newsletter and social media. Communications staff (Britney) was identified as the contact for newsletter inclusion.
Ending: Staff will finalize the schedule and post details online so residents can plan around the event.
