Spring and Fall Cleanup

Spring and Fall Clean-Up is the special collection of general household items that are too bulky for normal collection. These items are accepted during the specified clean-up weeks as identified on your collection schedule.

Items are to be placed within 10 feet of the road by 7am on the Monday of your collection week.

Each household, including apartment buildings of three units or less, are eligible for Spring and Fall Clean Up collection. The maximum weight of individual items cannot exceed 50lbs or one cubic meter in size, with the exception of furniture and appliances. Please remember, the maximum amount to be set out should not exceed 650lbs (picture the amount that can fit into the back of a half tonne truck).
