City of Winner
Spruce Up Project
The City of Winner is continuing the Spruce Up Winner program. The program helps owners to remove unwanted/dilapidated structures. It is a cost-sharing program where the owner pays for the demolition, loading of the debris, and the capping of the utilities; and the City removes the debris and hauls back fill material in for the contractor to use in leveling off the lot. The program is available for commercial and residential property. The work must be scheduled when City crews are available and that time is limited. Additional information and the required agreement are available at the Planning and Zoning Office, 325 S Monroe St, or you can call 842-2606.
The City will disconnect the power and attempt to shut the curb stop off. If the City cannot shut the curb stop off, the owner will have to have the contractor dig it up and shut it off.
The following items must be removed from the structure before it is demolished and loaded to be hauled to the City of Winner Landfill:
-
Household trash (all items normal placed out for trash pickup)
-
Plastic items (televisions, etc.)
-
All metal items
-
Major appliances (furnaces, hot water heaters, stoves, freezers, refrigerators, and air conditioning units) (*freezers, refrigerators, and air conditioning units must have the Freon removed and tagged in order to be accepted at the landfill*) The major appliances may be left on site to be hauled to the landfill.
