April 22, 2024 – The Hopkins County Commissioners Court have designated Friday-Saturday, April 3-4 County Clean Up days. Hopkins County residents may bring larger household items (not commercial) to their county precinct barn to dispose of.
Items will be accepted from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday and from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday. No toxic or hazardous materials will be accepted. That means no shingles, no chemicals, no household hazardous wastes, no pesticides, no paint and no appliances containing Freon.
Tires will only be accepted at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Auction, and with the appropriate fee paid.
