Dane County Clean Sweep Agricultural Clean Sweep Program is Available for 2009
Cost Reductions Restored
Dane County Clean Sweep can again offer a 50% cost reduction in disposal costs for agricultural related businesses (Agricultural VSQG's), and a 100% cost reduction for Dane County farmers for the disposal of agricultural chemicals. These reductions are made possible by the restoration of state funding for the Clean Sweep grant program. All farmers and agricultural-related businesses from Dane County are invited to participate. Participation in the Agricultural Clean Sweep Program is by appointment only, and events are held every Thursday morning during the Clean Sweep season from May through October at the Fish Hatchery Road site. Registration is available on our web site at www.danecountycleansweep.com or by calling Dave Radisewitz at (608) 243-0347.

The Clean Sweep Program provides an opportunity for residents of Dane County to safely dispose of household hazardous materials, free of charge. High quality, usable products brought to Clean Sweep are offered free of charge at Clean Sweep's Product Exchange. The Small Business Collection Program accepts materials from small businesses and local units of government. These materials are accepted on Thursday mornings by appointment.
