It’s once again time for spring cleaning and the City of Destin and Waste Management want to remind residents of the free spring cleaning services available. Just call Waste Management to schedule a bulk pickup any time, for FREE! The City of Destin encourages all residential customers to take advantage of this service this spring and also throughout the year. The city’s free year round cleanup initiative helps raise awareness of the city’s goal to provide a healthy and clean environment for its residents, businesses and visitors.
Bulk items such as patio furniture, couches and barbecue grills (with the gas tank removed) will be hauled away weekly with an easy call to Waste Management, 862-7141.
