Twice per year, the Mayor and Council may sponsor Spring and Fall Cleanup. During those times, citizens of Lovell can take a load of trash to the county landfill, after obtaining a voucher, and the Town will pay the landfill fee. Generally, it is approved in the Spring (April 15 to May 31st) and Fall (Oct 1st to November 30th). You have to have a valid address in Town Limits to qualify for a voucher.
When Spring or Fall cleanup is approved, you will need to load up your trash and go to the Lovell Police Department located at 142 East 3rd Street to get a voucher to present at the Landfill so the Town will pay for your fees. The voucher is only valid on the day you obtain it.
Open burning within the town limits is prohibited by state statute. A couple of times a year the Town of Lovell requests an open burn setback waiver from the Department of Environmental Quality. The dates we request are weekends only March 1 to May 31st and September 1st to November 30th. Burning is allowed East of Shoshone Avenue on even calendar days on the weekend and West of Shoshone Avenue on odd calendar days on the weekend. You can only burn yard debris. You need to call the Lovell Police Department at 307-548-2215 before you burn.
