Ask LaPorte City Hall folks and they’ll tell you the questions they most often field in the waning days of summer (or earlier): “When is Fall Clean-Up?” and “When is Trick or Treat?”
Well, here you go:
– Fall Clean-up for LaPorte city residents will take place Oct. 20-24 on your regular trash day. This is your chance to get rid of items you wouldn’t normally put out at your curb: smaller furniture, carpet rolls cut 4 feet or shorter, that old toilet that’s been sitting in your garage for 8 years, and more. For more information on what is accepted and what is not, call Waste Management at (219) 393-5321.
– Trick or Treat will be held on Halloween evening — Friday, Oct. 31 — from 6 to 8 p.m. (If you live in one of LaPorte County’s other towns, contact your city hall or town hall officials to verify your Trick-or-Treat date and time.)
