HURON — For three days late last week, residents unloaded the equivalent of five semi-tractor-trailer loads at the rubble site at no cost as part of the first citywide cleanup of the year.
Solid Waste Superintendent Dale Fortin said a total of 105 tons of materials were brought to the rubble site.
Figures show there were a total of 617 incoming loads Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Twenty-eight tons of household garbage and electronics came in, and will now be trucked to the Pierre landfill.
Another 67.4 tons of metal, construction demolition debris, carpets, mattresses and other materials that can be buried at the rubble site were brought out.
There were 9.2 tons of tires, and two batteries.
Fortin said the material came from 239 residential locations. The number of times the water utility bill was shown for free entry at the gate was 373, so 134 people used their bill multiple times during the cleanup.
