(KAIR)--Now that the clocks have sprung forward an hour, and warmer weather lingers around the region, the feeling of spring is in the air, with the County of Atchison preparing for a spring cleaning.
Atchison County Commission Chair Casey Quinn, a guest of the 93.7 FM "Co-Host Monday" with Neil Wieland, said the pieces are being put in place to finalize next month's cleanup event.
The demand to discard tires remains strong, with Quinn saying they will again be accepted.

Meanwhile, the City of Horton is preparing for a spring cleaning, with the City offering an opportunity for residents to rid themselves of their clutter.
A release from the City of Horton explains the spring cleaning assistance, saying there will be a roll of dumpsters residents can use to discard their garbage. They will be located in the vacant lot on the corner of 1st Avenue East and 7th Street, south of City Hall, beginning Friday March 29. The dumpsters will then remain in place for use until April 8.
The City, in the release, outlines what items are acceptable to dispose of in the dumpsters, with those items including furniture, carpet, empty paint cans, plastic, mattresses, wood, cabinets, tables, windows, demolished buildings, tubs, toilets, sinks, and shingles. The release encourages residents to plan accordingly, as there will not be anyone on site to assist with moving items. Items prohibited from disposal include antifreeze, herbicides, pesticides, household cleaners, paint & paint products; spray paint, alkaline and Ni-Cad batteries, mercury, used oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, gasoline, leaves, grass clippings and household trash, as well as tires of any type.
The annual Spring Cleanup is sponsored by the City of Horton and Hamilton Recycling, with all questions addressed to Horton City Hall at 785-486-2681 extension option 1.
