With only a little more than a week left until our Ellis County Clean-Up day event scheduled for Saturday, September 18, 2010, this is to let everyone know that we have less than “half” of our available vouchers left. If you plan to participate, remember that you will need to pick up a voucher in advance.

To make vouch pick-up convenient, locations to obtain a voucher are scattered around the county at each of the Precinct offices, as well as at the Department of Development in the new Ellis County Courts Facility in downtown Waxahachie (see list below).

Remember that this event will run simultaneously at two landfill sites: EDC Landfill on I-45 between Palmer and Ennis – and – CSC Landfill on Republic Way in Avalon. Hours on that Saturday will be: 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
