members would be allowed to use the park daily also).

Amos Lawton reported on the annual Spring Cleanup Day on April 28, 1990.
Volunteer attendance was excellent (Yelm Chamber of ConTnerce and F'FA)
provided for unloading at all three dumpsters. The event had to be
closed approximately 1 hour early because the dumpsters were at capacity.
Due to the fact that the event was abused by some (multiple loads, many
large furniture items, construction materials, etc.) , it may have to be
discontinued. If Spring Cleanup Day does continue in the future, many
additional restrictions will need to be placed on the residents, i.e. one
load per household, one large furniture item per household, no building
materials, etc.
The Council stressed that the purpose of the event is to allow Ye]m
garbage customers a chance to do some spring cleaning, not an anrntal
dumping.
